What you'll need:
For cinnamon filling:
½ tablespoon erythritol or sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
For dough:
4 tablespoons almond flour
3 tablespoons protein powder
1 tablespoon erythritol
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon liquid egg whites
What you'll need to do:
To make the cinnamon filling: in a small bowl or mug, combine ½ tablespoon erythritol or sugar with the cinnamon and set aside.
Grease a microwave safe plate and set aside.
In a mug, combine the almond flour, protein powder, 1 tablespoon erythritol, salt, and baking powder. Add in the lemon juice and egg whites and stir until completely combined and all the dry ingredients are incorporated. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2-3 times, or until it comes together. Flatten the dough into a rectangle that is 2-3 inches wide and as thin as you can make it, about ¼ inch thickness. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Carefully roll the dough up from the short side and place on the prepared plate. Microwave for a minute to a minute and a half, until risen and solid but not tough.
Optional glaze: combine 1 tablespoon powdered sugar with ¼-1/2 teaspoon almond milk and whisk until smooth. For a protein version, combine 1 tablespoon protein powder with 1-2 teaspoons almond milk and whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooked cinnamon bun. Glaze or not, it's still spectacular. Devour.
