Looking for a keto-friendly bread option to serve alongside dinner? These Low-Carb Dinner Rolls are the perfect solution. With a chewy center and golden exterior, they’re easy to make, gluten-free, and satisfy that bread craving while keeping your macros on track.
Why These Keto Rolls Are a Smart Choice
Each roll contains only 5.6g of net carbs, thanks to low-glycemic ingredients like almond flour and flaxseed. According to studies published by the NIH, almond flour is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, while flaxseed offers Omega-3s and supports digestion. This makes these rolls not only low-carb but nutritionally dense.
