These keto dinner rolls are a game-changer for anyone who is missing bread. This recipe makes soft and fluffy pull-apart rolls that are slightly sweet. Think of these as a keto-friendly spin on Hawaiian rolls! You can also use these for sandwiches, sliders, or as a side with your Thanksgiving feast!
This recipe requires only 7 ingredients and is quick and easy to make. These rolls can be prepped and cooked in less than 30 minutes. Start by preheating the oven and spraying a 9×9 pan with cooking spray.
Microwave the mozzarella and cream cheese for 2 minutes, or until the edges are melted and bubbly. Take out, stir, and microwave for an additional minute. Remove from the microwave and stir until mozzarella is smooth.
Next, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and Swerve in a large bowl. Add the mozzarella mixture and eggs to dry ingredients. Start kneading the mixture with your hands. If you have a stand mixer, you can also do this with the paddle attachment. Make sure everything is well mixed together. If the cheese starts getting hard to work with, pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds and then continue kneading.
Form the dough into 9 equal sized balls. Place 3×3 in the pan. Brush the balls with melted butter or coconut oil. Bake for 20 min until golden brown. Now enjoy these keto dinner rolls!

December 4, 2019 at 7:12 amThese are amazing as are all of your recipes. Thanks for making keto taste so yummy. Do your rolls start to flatten a bit once out of the oven for a bit? I noticed they were more fluffy when first out of the oven?
Suzanne
December 10, 2019 at 11:44 pmThank you! Yes, gluten free baking is a bit more tricky…so these will flatten out a bit as they cool.

November 29, 2020 at 11:21 amWhat brand of mozzarella cheese do you use?
Suzanne
December 1, 2020 at 4:11 pmI don’t have a specific brand that I use, I do look for the low moisture though!

January 17, 2020 at 4:24 pmSO good. I found that 400 may be a little too hot for my oven, as the rolls were burned on the bottom when the tops were perfectly golden. But otherwise, great recipe, good texture and great flavor!

February 7, 2020 at 8:22 pmI really like the recipe!! They are a little dense but I like it that way. I eat it with butter and peach butter for breakfast. They are filling and with the peach butter and the cheesy-ness, it taste almost like a dessert! Thank you!

July 1, 2020 at 6:28 pmMay I use Monkfruit sweetener instead of Swerve?
Susan
September 16, 2020 at 3:15 pmThese taste amazing! Is there a trick for getting them to rise like in you picture? Mine are pretty thin but still good! My dough was a little wet and sticky when trying to roll into balls. Maybe I should have added a little more almond flour.
Suzanne Ryan
September 16, 2020 at 3:23 pmHi There! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. The dough is pretty sticky, but it shouldn’t be too wet. You can try adding a little more almond flour, and make sure that your baking powder is fresh.

September 30, 2020 at 5:32 amLove the bread rolls. They have a few ingredients, easy to make and so yummy. Just make sure to make really round balls to get the best result. I love them! They are a family favorite. They don’t work as a hamburger roll but great with other food like chicken or vegetarian lasagna or with a big breakfast.

November 22, 2020 at 2:46 pmThese were fantastic! I’m finishing up my second week of Keto, and I am bound and determined not to cheat on Thanksgiving.
These wonderful little rolls will allow me to pass up the homemade yeast rolls without feeling deprived.
Thank you, Suzanne! I’m looking forward to trying your other recipes!
Happy Thanksgiving!

December 21, 2020 at 5:39 pmThese look mouthwatering! Can I leave out the swerve? I’m not a fan of sweet rolls.

February 26, 2021 at 11:32 amBest keto rolls I’ve tasted since trying to for the first time five years ago. I’m doing my best but was always discouraged over not having good bread. I feel like I could make a loaf of bread, bread sticks or whatever I want from this recipe. I’ve never been able to make mozzarella cheese work in these recipes so I used Monterey jack and they came out perfect. Dense but still fluffy. Even had holes like a wheat roll. Thank you so much!!
