- 1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Besti Natural Brown Sugar Substitute, rounded

INSTRUCTIONS
- Make the dough: Melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in microwave-safe bowl. Add melted cheeses with all other ingredients to a food processor. Process until dough comes together. Do not overprocess or dough might become mushy.
- Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper dusted with powdered sweetener. Roll into approximately 10×12-inch rectangle about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch thick. Remove the top parchment paper.
- Starting on one of the 12-inch sides of the rectangle, slice into 8 strips each about 1.5 inches wide (see end of step 5).
- For the filling: Combine granulated sweetener and cinnamon. Brush the dough rectangle with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon/sweetener mixture evenly on top.
- Starting at the end of the rectangle, begin rolling in one big roll, gently pulling the parchment paper up as you roll allowing it to create the roll – not your fingers. This makes the roll more even and avoids sticking to your hands. When the roll is complete, the cinnamon buns will be pre-sliced from step 3.
- Grease a muffin tin and place each cinnamon bun in its own muffin cup. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 17-19 minutes. Try not to overbake – just enough that dough is moist and soft but not doughy.
- Make the icing: heat butter and cream cheese together. Stir in powdered sweetener until very smooth. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
