Prepare scotty's everyday bread mix per instructions. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with oil. Place in a warm place and allow to rise for 30-45 minutes.
Pour dried cranberries into a small bowl. Cover with hot water and allow to sit for 30 minutes to soften.
In a food processor, process almonds, almond flour, and granular sweetener. Add egg whites one at a time, allowing to purée in between. Scrape sides as needed. Add almond extract at the end and pulse to mix. Set aside.
Grease a baking sheet. Turn bread dough onto it and pat into a large rectangle, roughly 12x24-inches. Spread evenly with almond paste.Drain cranberries and pat dry. Sprinkle almond paste with cranberries. Roll dough long-ways, then cut into 8 rolls, you may need to oil the knife between cuts.
Place in a greased baking dish and cover with greased plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 30-45 mins, or until almost doubled in size. Place in the oven and bake rolls for 30-35 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add orange zest and powdered sweetener. Beat until smooth. Add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until frosting consistency.Frost buns and enjoy!
