Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Place 112 grams (1 cup) of coconut flour in a large food processor.

Add 1/4 cup of cold butter, chopped into cubes, to the food processor.

Pulse the butter and coconut flour together about 2-3 times until the mixture is crumbly.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of granulated monk fruit sweetener, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture.

Add 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of cream cheese, cut into small cubes, and pulse again for 2-3 times until fully combined.

Add 2 large room temperature eggs and process on high for 15-20 seconds until combined, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add 170 grams (2/3 cup) of thick Greek yogurt and process on high for another 15-20 seconds until a smooth dough forms, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Test the dough by scooping it onto a lined work surface and forming it into a smooth ball.

If the dough is too sticky, add small amounts of coconut flour until it is not sticking to your hands.

Scoop out 1/4 cup of the dough and roll it into a smooth ball, placing it into the prepared cake pan.

Continue scooping and rolling the dough until all is placed in the cake pan, ensuring they are touching side by side.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of brown sweetener and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the tops of the biscuits.

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener mixture over the biscuits as desired.

Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and a tester comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 20 minutes until firm.

Transfer the biscuits to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing and filling with butter or any filling of your choice.
