Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine warm water and erythritol; sprinkle yeast over it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly on top.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into equal pieces.

Place the rolls in a greased baking dish and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

While baking, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a little water to create a glaze.

Remove rolls from the oven and let cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
