Fluffy Keto Dinner Rolls
Soft, pull-apart dinner rolls with a tender crumb, built on almond flour and whipped eggs. Around 3g net carbs each and ready for butter.
Soft rolls without a proofing bowl
There is no yeast to wait on here. These rolls rise from whipped eggs and baking powder, so they come together in one bowl and go straight into the oven. Almond flour keeps them tender, and a spoonful of psyllium gives just enough structure so they do not collapse as they cool.
Beating the eggs until they are pale and frothy is what makes these light rather than dense. Fold the dry ingredients in gently to keep that air in the batter. Baked close together in a dish, the rolls touch and puff into soft sides you can pull apart at the table.
Brush the tops with melted butter as they come out and serve them warm alongside dinner.

Recipe FAQ
Do I really need to separate the eggs?
It is worth it. Whipping the whites separately and folding them in traps air that lifts the rolls, so they bake up light instead of heavy. If you are short on time you can beat whole eggs, but expect a denser roll.
Can I freeze the rolls?
Yes. Cool them completely, then freeze in a sealed bag for up to two months. Reheat from frozen in a 300F oven for about 10 minutes so they warm through and the crust firms back up.
