Ingredients

1 ½ cups Almond Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Splenda - see post for alternatives
2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
2 ½ cups Mozzarella Cheese -Shredded or Grated
4 tbsp Cream Cheese -full fat preferred
2 Eggs - beaten
½ cup Butter - melted

Tip: spray your mixer attachment with a bit of nonstick spray to prevent the dough from sticking.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350. Prep your baking sheet or cookie sheet, I suggest using parchment paper. You may also want to coat the parchment paper with a bit of nonstick as well
In a medium mixing bowl use a whisk or a fork to mix together the almond flout and the baking powder. Set this bowl aside. Next, in a small mixing bowl use a fork or whisk to mix together the sugar alternative and the ground cinnamon. Set this bowl aside as well.
In a saucepan on low- to medium heat, melt together the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Stir the mixture as it melts, scraping the bottom of the saucepan as needed. Once the mixture has melted together remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool for a minute or two at the most but, not totally. We will need the dough to be somewhat warm for best results. Alternatively, you can place these ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave to melt, stopping to stir every 30 seconds.
I suggest using a hook attachment and a stand mixer to make this recipe. Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl and the melted cheese mixture. Mix this for 10 seconds and then add the eggs. Alternatively, you can mix these ingredients by hand. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOUGH WILL NOT BE LIKE YOUR USUAL ALL PURPOSE FLOUR DOUGH. IT WILL BE STICKY.
When the dough begins to stick together you can transfer it to a workspace to form the pretzels. We will be kneading the mixture next. It is best to rub some oil on your hands before kneading as this is a sticky dough by nature. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until you are able to form it somewhat. It will not be like regular dough in touch or texture.
Divide the dough in half and then half again. You can continue to divide until you reach six to eight pieces in order to make six to eight pretzels. Form a snake-like roll about a foot long with each individual dough piece. Then twist the dough into the shape of a pretzel
Whisk together the cinnamon sugar alternative with the melted butter and then brush this over the pretzels. You can use any leftovers for brushing on or dipping the baked pretzels.
Bake your pretzels for 15-20 minutes or until the brown to your liking. Allow the pretzels to cool on a rack. Brush additional cinnamon alternative butter on top before serving.

Recipe Notes

Because there is no gluten in the flour, we will use mozzarella cheese to help hold the dough together. Also mentioned is that you will need both Ground cinnamon and a granular sugar alternative to make the cinnamon topping taste sweet.

Also mentioned was what to use to bake these pretzels.

To prepare your baking sheet or cookie sheet, I suggest using parchment paper. You may also want to coat the parchment paper with a bit of nonstick as well.
