These Keto Crispy Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a low-carb, crispy, and creamy treat perfect for breakfast or a guilt-free snack. Lightly sweetened with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness, they’re easy to make and delightfully crunchy.
Ingredients
4 low-carb tortillas or keto-friendly wraps
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
Optional: a pinch of salt
(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
In a small bowl, I mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
I lay out the low-carb tortillas flat on a clean surface.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each tortilla, covering it completely but not too thick.
Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly into a log shape.
I melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the roll ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy on one side.
Gently turn the roll ups to brown all sides, cooking another 2-3 minutes, until crisp and warmed through.
Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!

Variations
Nut Butter Spread: I like to switch things up sometimes by spreading a thin layer of almond butter or peanut butter on the tortilla before adding the cream cheese mixture for an extra nutty flavor.
Add Nuts: For a crunchy twist, I sometimes add crushed nuts like pecans or walnuts into the cream cheese mixture.
Sweeteners: If I want to adjust the sweetness level, I can easily swap out erythritol for stevia or monk fruit, depending on my preference.
Storage/Reheating
Storage: I store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: When reheating, I pop them back into a skillet over low heat or in the oven to maintain their crispiness. I avoid using a microwave since it can make them soggy.
FAQs
How many carbs are in Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups?
Each serving of these roll-ups contains approximately 3-4 grams of net carbs, making them an ideal snack for anyone following a low-carb or keto diet.
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes! I can make the cream cheese filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to make the roll-ups, simply spread it on the tortillas, roll them up, and cook.
Can I use regular tortillas instead of low-carb tortillas?
