I have you to thank for inspiring this recipe! After publishing my Cinnamon Loaf recipe, I received several requests to make a version that didn’t contain almond butter. Apparently, that’s not an ingredient everyone keeps on hand! Plus, almond butter is quite pricey, so I created this much more frugal (and even better tasting, in my opinion!) low-carb, gluten-free, THM S Cinnamon Roll Cake!
This Cinnamon Roll Cake delivers all the flavors of a traditional cinnamon roll without any of the fuss! It takes just 15 minutes to prepare and doesn’t contain any special ingredients.
You’ll need:
- sweetener (I used xylitol in the cake, and Swerve’s Icing Sugar replacement for the glaze)
- Greek yogurt – and fat
- eggs
- butter
- molasses
- vanilla extract
- almond flour
- coconut flour
- flaxseed meal
- baking powder
- mineral salt
- cinnamon
- cream cheese
Instead of using the combination of almond flour, coconut flour, and flaxseed meal, you can also substitute 1 cup of Trim Healthy Mama’s Baking Blend.
This Cinnamon Roll Cake has the texture of a tender coffee cake. There’s no need to chill it overnight for a better taste; it’s delicious served warm while the glaze is still ooey-gooey, too!
You can serve Cinnamon Roll Cake without the glaze (also scrumptious!), but I think it’s totally worth the extra minute or two to make and makes it more cinnamon roll-ish.
Don't have time to make cinnamon rolls? This low-carb, gluten-free, THM S Cinnamon Roll Cake delivers all the same flavor without any of the fuss! No special ingredients. You can substitute 1 cup of Baking Blend in place of the almond flour, coconut flour, and flaxseed meal. Gentle Sweet can be used in half the amount of xylitol, or Super Sweet in a quarter of the amount. Cinnamon Roll Cake | THM: S, Low-Carb, Gluten-Free

This really looks good.
It is!!
I made this yesterday, and it is really delicious!! It’s curing my craving for cinnamon rolls. I am so happy anyway, thanks for sharing this recipe! I’ll definitely be making this again. 🙂
Are there nutrition facts for this anywhere? It sounds delish!!
Kelly, since we (Trim Healthy Mamas) don’t count calories, there may not be any nutrition facts available. You can plug the ingredients into an app for that, though, if you like. HTH!
I don’t have the Swerve icing sugar. Is there a THM sweetner I can use for the frosting? Thanks!
Gentle sweet: if it’s grainy whirl it in the blender or coffee milk til it’s powdered
This is so delicious! Thanks for sharing it!
What can the molasses be substituted for? Thank you
Shsron
Leave it out if you don’t want to use it.
Can I replace the molasses with something else? Thank you
Sharon
This. Is. A. Winner!
My husband doesn’t usually like THM cakes… But he had a piece when he came home from work last night and gave it a thumbs up! He then had some for breakfast this morning, too! This will definitely be a repeat in our house!H
I’ve made this twice now and it is so good! I was lazy and grabbed a cup of my Briana’s Baking Blend instead of your 1/3 1/3 1/3 mix, and made it in a 9×13 and doubled the icing…lol SOOO GOOOD!
Even my fussiest asked for a repeat. 😀
Have you used coconut oil for this cake, I don’t have enough butter.
Making the cinnamon roll cake right now..smells yummy.Thankyou thankyou thankyou!
What could I substitute for the molasses please? Liquid Stevia??
Also could I use Gentle Sweet or the Super Sweet instead of Swerve?? Other sweetners give me migraines so I hate to mess with anything new…
Thank you sooo much for your help!! This looks sooo yummy!
Why does this cake give such intestinal distress?!
Jenna you are probably having issues with one of the sweeteners you used. A lot of artificial ones can do that in larger quantities. Have you tried gentle sweet? It can be easier on tummies. It can be trial and error figuring out which versions you can use but once you know it’s adaptable for all recipes. They used to feed us “sugar free” candy at camp then watch all 100 diabetic kids run to the bathroom all afternoon because we had ate enough to have “issues”.
Hi! What substitutions do you recommend for the Greek yogurt? My family can’t have dairy. Would almond milk work the same, but maybe just use a bit less since it’s thinner than Greek yogurt?
Thank you so much 🙂
There’s almond yogurt at Walmart
When subbing the flours with baking blend do I do 3 cups of baking blend then? One cup for each or 1 cup total for all three flours? Which would be 1 cup baking blend for total recipe?
1 cup total, since the three ingredients are 1/3c each.
This is one of the easiest recipes and delicious!! Really hits the spot for cinnamon rolls;);)
I’m just made one for my husbands birthday breakfast.
Just curious if anyone has tried it with both yogurt and sour cream. And if you prefered one over the other?
Made this for Christmas morning and it’s yummy. Thanks for a tasty treat!
I have serve confectioners sugar will that work for the icing?
*Swerve
Did that work that is what I am going to try.
Yes, that works
This is absolutely delicious and shop simple to whip up quickly!
I’m impressed! This cake is just the perfect texture! Love it! I used Briana Thomas’ baking blend rather than the 3-flour mixture in the recipe and as was the case with someone else who commented, it turned out perfect! I used Xylitol in the case part and Gentle Sweet in the frosting and that was just right too. So thank you very much for such a perfect cake! I couldn’t be more pleased.
