These keto cinnamon sticks are just so moreish that you will not be able to stop at one! Or maybe I was extra hungry after smelling the cooking as the scent of cinnamon cooking is one of my favourite smells.
I used my beloved coconut flour and a dash of psyllium husk powder to give this recipe a dough like mixture as well as being low carb and gluten free. I am yet to try this with almond flour and would think that it should work just as good but just reduce the water as 1 cup may be too much.
Low Carb Cinnamon Sticks
As ever when making a dough with psyllium husk powder add the water a bit at a time as varieties of coconut flour and psyllium husk powder do vary. You may not need as much I as used.
If you want a cinnamon dessert made out of Fathead dough then try a delicious keto cinnamon roll. These also use coconut flour and taste divine. Breakfast is great with cinnamon, whether it be a keto cinnamon roll or keto cinnamon sticks.
There is something about the cream cheese topping that just goes so perfectly with the cinnamon sticks too. Serve with a bowl of cream cheese fruit dip for an outstanding appetizer.
