How to Make Low Carb Mock Cinnabon

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two ramekins or small oven-safe mugs with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, liquid sugar substitute, and cinnamon.
  3. Gently mash the cottage cheese with the back of a spoon until mostly smooth. Avoid over-mixing.
  4. Stir in the egg, baking powder, and heavy cream until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  6. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for stability. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool slightly in the ramekins before carefully removing and enjoying. Serve warm!
  8. Note: If your liquid sugar substitute uses a '2 drops per serving' measurement, halve the amount called for in the recipe.
