Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bites are my new favorite low-carb treat. These sweet, creamy spirals come together in minutes and deliver all the cozy, nostalgic flavors of cinnamon rolls—without the carbs. With a crispy outside and a rich, spiced filling, I love serving them as a quick dessert, a fun brunch addition, or an afternoon snack.

Why I Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it feels like I’m indulging in something decadent, but it fits right into my keto lifestyle. The bites are perfectly portioned, easy to whip up, and totally customizable. Plus, I don’t have to turn on the oven or deal with complicated baking steps. The combination of creamy filling, warm cinnamon, and a golden, buttery crust is irresistible every time.

Ingredients

• 2 soft taco-sized zero carb tortillas

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

• 1/3 cup Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons Swerve granulated sugar substitute

• 2 tablespoons butter

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. I blend the cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered Swerve, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon together in a mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.

2. I spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, covering the surface evenly.

3. I carefully roll up each tortilla tightly around the filling.

4. I place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to help the filling firm up.

5. Once chilled, I slice the tortillas into spirals to create bite-sized pieces.

6. I heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the bites until browned and crispy on the outside.

7. In a small bowl, I stir together the granulated Swerve and remaining teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle this cinnamon “sugar” mixture over the finished bites before serving.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 4 servings. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare, 5 minutes to cook, and just 15 minutes total. Each serving is about 145 calories with only 2 grams of net carbs.

Variations

Sometimes I add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the filling for a twist. If I want a tangy note, I add a bit of lemon zest. For a nutty crunch, I sprinkle a few chopped pecans or walnuts over the cream cheese before rolling up the tortillas. If I’m craving extra richness, I use flavored cream cheese or add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the mixture.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, I simply sauté them again in a skillet for a few minutes to restore their crispy exterior. I avoid microwaving, since it can make them soggy.

FAQs

Are these cinnamon cream cheese bites freezer friendly?

Yes, I freeze them before cooking or after. I just thaw and crisp them up in a skillet before serving.

Can I use another sugar substitute?

Absolutely. I use any preferred keto-friendly sweetener—just be sure to use a powdered version for the filling so it blends smoothly.

What tortillas work best?

I use any soft, zero carb or low carb tortilla brand that holds up well to rolling and sautéing.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes, I swap in dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based butter to keep them keto and dairy-free.

Are these good for meal prep?

Definitely! I assemble, chill, and slice ahead, then just cook and coat with cinnamon sugar right before serving.

Conclusion

Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bites make it easy for me to satisfy my sweet tooth while staying on track with my low-carb goals. The quick prep and bold flavors mean I can enjoy a homemade treat any time I want. I know I’ll be making these creamy, spiced bites again and again whenever I need a fast and fabulous keto snack.
