Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Serves: 6

Per serving: 103.3 calories, 3.6 g protein, 8.3 g carbohydrates, 7 g fat

Ingredients

¾ cup almond flour

5 Tbsp psyllium husks, whole

1 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp of allulose

¾  tsp sea salt

3 egg whites

1 tsp white wine vinegar

1 cup boiling water

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 177 degrees C. 

  2. In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, allulose, and salt until mixed thoroughly. 

  3. Add egg whites, vinegar, and boiling water, and stir until dough becomes thick and smooth. 

  4. Divide dough into six ball shapes and place on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Add ten minutes as needed until golden brown. 


Recipe tips:

  • For a golden brown crust, create an egg wash by combining two tablespoons of water with the leftover egg yolks. Apply the mixture with a pastry brush over the rolls before baking.

  • For a cheesy variation, add shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese to the dough before shaping the rolls.

  • To create a garlicky bread roll, brush the dough balls with melted butter and top them with garlic powder. 

  • If you prefer larger hamburger buns, divide the dough into four portions and shape before baking. Check periodically, as the baking time may be shorter.

Enjoy the comfort of freshly baked rolls without the high carb count with these easy-to-make Keto Rolls. Made with a blend of almond flour and psyllium husk powder, these low-carb rolls offer a satisfying, bread-like texture without the carb overload of traditional rolls.

Why you’ll love this keto-friendly recipe 


These Keto Rolls are the perfect addition to any low-carb diet, offering a satisfying and gluten-free alternative to traditional bread rolls.  


In addition to being keto-friendly and gluten-free, these Keto Rolls contain psyllium husk, a fiber-rich ingredient that offers unique digestive benefits. 


“Psyllium has one of the highest soluble fiber content, which supports healthy digestion by forming a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. This can help maintain regular bowel movements, reduce constipation, and stabilize blood sugar levels,” explains Dr. Berg.


Furthermore, psyllium husk promotes a feeling of fullness, making these rolls satisfying and beneficial for weight management.


Using almond flour and psyllium husk instead of wheat flour achieves a delightful bread texture and flavor while keeping the net carb count low. 


Accurately tracking net carbs is crucial for a successful keto diet, as net carbs represent the carbohydrates that directly impact blood glucose levels.


To calculate the net carb count of these Keto Rolls, simply subtract the 6.9 grams of undigestible fiber and allulose from the 8.3 grams of total carbohydrates. 


The result? Only 1.4 grams of net carbs per serving, allowing you to indulge in the comfort of freshly baked rolls without derailing ketosis.


Not only are these rolls keto-friendly, but they’re also incredibly easy to make. Unlike typical bread, these rolls don’t require yeast or proofing, so you can have fresh keto bread rolls ready in around an hour.


This versatile recipe allows you to customize it with your favorite herbs, spices, or toppings, such as sesame seeds or low-carb bagel seasoning.
