Directions

Mix all the dough ingredients, then roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper. Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sweetener. Roll it up, slice into 1–2 inch segments, and bake at 400°F for 25 minutes.

While they bake, mix up the frosting ingredients and get ready to slather it on once the rolls come out of the oven.
