Keto Dinner Rolls
Seems like everyone has a keto dinner roll recipe. But most I found were made with cheese. While they were yummy, they were not like bread.
Then I found this recipe at Keto Connect. https://www.ketoconnect.net/low-carb-rolls/
These work out pretty well, especially for soaking up butter or sopping up the last of my Dried Porcini Mushroom Gravy
Split them and layer in cheese, meat, and some mayo or spicy mustard for mini-sandwiches (the day after Thanksgiving perhaps).
But I wanted something more. So I played with some additions and have 3 variations for you: garlic onion rolls, herb rolls, and cheese rolls. The nutrition information does not include the additions, but if you make the garlic or herb version, it changes nothing. For the cheese version, you are adding 1/4 cup of of grated hard cheese per 2 roll serving, so this will add:
16 grams Fat
2 grams Carb
16 grams Protein
220 additional calories
(It is a lot more calories for 2 rolls, but they are really, really yummy this way.)
I have included this recipe in my Low-Carb Gluten-Free Midwest Thanksgiving meal plan. This is a meal plan for a complete Thanksgiving dinner including portion sizes, shopping lists, make ahead schedule, and adjustments for dairy, tree nut, and egg allergies, vegetarians, and further carb adjustments to take it into the keto zone.

Keto Dinner Rolls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Coconut flour
- 2 Tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Cover a flat baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. If you are adding ingredients for one of the optional choices, mix them into the dry.
- Melt the butter. Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs until well blended. Continue beating as you add the water and then the butter until they are all well combined.
- Continue beating as you add the dry ingredients. As you mix, the dough will become thick. If you lift the mixer, the dough should hold its shape.
- Using about ¼ cup of dough for each, form the dough into 10 rolls and spread them evenly over the baking sheet (they do not expand very much).
- Bake for 35 minutes, until the rolls are light brown on top and bottom.
Garlic Onion Roll
- Add 1 teaspoon powder and ½ teaspoon garlic powder to the dry ingredients
Herb Roll
- Add 1 teaspoon Italian herbs to the dry ingredients
Cheese Roll
- Add 1 ¼ cup grated hard cheese such as asiago to the dry ingredients
- Note this version of the roll adds 16 grams fat, 2 grams carb, 16 grams protein, and 220 additional calories per 2 roll serving
