- Add Cinnamon Swirl: Flatten the dough into a rectangle on parchment paper. Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the surface, creating your signature cinnamon swirl.
- Roll and Cut: Carefully roll the dough up from one side to the other, then slice into equal parts (about 1–2 inches thick).
- Bake in the Oven: Place your cinnamon buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Frosting: While the buns bake, beat together cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and almond milk until smooth.
