🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Low-Carb Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add eggs and melted butter. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Place dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a small bowl, combine:
    • softened cream cheese
    • crumbled feta
    • cranberries
    • parsley or chives
    • garlic powder (if using)
    • salt & pepper
  2. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Pinwheels

  1. Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough rectangle.
  2. Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a tight log.
  3. Wrap the log in parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 4: Slice & Bake

  1. Remove the chilled dough log from fridge.
  2. Slice into ½–¾ inch pinwheels and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden.

Step 5: Serve

  • Allow to cool slightly.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Perfect with tea, coffee, or as an appetizer.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Make it vegan: Use vegan cream cheese and skip feta or use a plant-based version.
  • Add crunch: Sprinkle sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds on top before baking.
  • Extra flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon to complement cranberries.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days.
