How do I make these Cinnamon Churro Cream Cheese Roll-Ups(Keto) -friendly?

Simply swap the flour tortillas for low-carb or almond flour tortillas to keep the carbs down. Use a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit instead of coconut sugar. Ensure the cream cheese is full-fat to keep with keto guidelines. These adjustments keep the delicious flavor while maintaining your keto diet.

Can I make these roll-ups in an air fryer?

Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 350°F and place the roll-ups inside for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method makes them extra crispy and reduces the need for added butter. Just be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.

What are some variations of this recipe?

You can add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese for added flavor. Consider incorporating a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a spiced twist. If you like a bit of texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes before rolling up. These simple tweaks can elevate the flavor profile without adding carbs.

How should I store and reheat leftover roll-ups?

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, either pop them back in a hot skillet for a few minutes or use the air fryer at 350°F for a couple of minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it might make them soggy. Enjoying them fresh is best, but a quick reheat can bring back that delightful crunch.
