Steps

1. 1

   Melt 0.5 tbsp (7 g) of unsalted butter in the microwave for approximately 10 seconds.

   Start 10-second timer

   In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and the melted butter. Whisk well until combined.

3. 3

   Add the dry ingredients to the bowl: 0.5 cup (56 g) of almond flour, 3 tbsp (25 g) of powdered Swerve, 0.5 tsp of xanthan gum, a pinch of salt, and a heaping 0.25 tsp of baking powder.

4. 4

   Mix with a spatula until a crumbly consistency forms, then use your hands to form a compact dough ball.

5. 5

   Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Press the dough with your hands until it forms a long, thin strip approximately 8 inches (20 cm) long by 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.

   Lightly spray the surface of the strip with cooking spray, sprinkle with cinnamon to taste, and distribute 0.5 tbsp (6 g) of brown Swerve over the top, pressing it gently into the dough.

   Grease a mug or ramekin with cooking spray and place the roll inside.

   Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on the power of your appliance. (Alternative: 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (180 °C) / 175°C (350 °F)).
