Water? Water is not listed as a ingredient. How much water? Why did you not list it as a ingredient? This will change recipe!
The filling instructions mention water but there’s no water measurements listed in the ingredient list.
Keto Zone Cinnamon Rolls…These sound delicious and I want to try making them. Instruction #13 says, “For the filling, combine water, sweetener, and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir vigorously.” In the list of ingredients for the filling you list butter, sweetener and cinnamon. Did you mean butter instead of water for instruction #13 ? Please clarify. Thanks so much.
I followed this recipe exactly. The “dough” is way to sticky to roll. I wonder if the adaptation was actually attempted prior to being published.
I made them and I LOVE IT. i will make them more. I did not expect how delicious keto cinnamon rolls way far better than sugar cinnamon rolls.
