Sugar-Free Pumpkin Roll Recipe by The Diabetic Pastry Chef
Ingredients
1 cup sugar substitute of your choice
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Swerve Confectioners
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add all ingredients except walnuts and Swerve Confectioners to the mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until well combined.
Line an 11×15″ jelly roll pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Grease the paper and add the batter spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts. Bake for approximately 15 minutes.
Invert the cake onto a thin linen dish towel sprinkled heavily with Swerve Confectioners (about 1/4 cup). Remove parchment paper or wax paper and gently roll the cake. Let cool for a minimum of 2 hours.
Unroll the cake and evenly spread with filling. Reroll cake. Freeze for 1 hour before serving. Thaw, sprinkle top with Swerve Confectioners to cover, and slice. Enjoy!
