Thankgiving is almost here and it’s almost too late to be posting yet another turkey day recipe, but I’m sitting at my computer doing it. I already have an amazing roll recipe, so why am I posting another one? Because these have only about 2 net carbs per roll.
Now I am aware that most of you (including myself) are not worried about carbs on Thanksgiving, but there are those who always have to worry about carbs, regardless of the date on the calendar. Hey low-carbers: You’re entitled to dinner rolls on Thanksgiving too!
These rolls didn’t last long in our house. They take only one bowl and few minutes to whip up, and the end results were simply amazing; soft and fluffy.
Now I know these have a lot of eggs, but it makes them fluffy and gives each roll almost 6 grams of protein. So pick up an extra dozen of eggs so you can make these!
- 6 eggs
- 4 egg whites
- 6 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted
- 2/3 cup [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YF99GM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000YF99GM&linkCode=as2&tag=coituppa-20&linkId=3V3EQCQKP5JEBRPK” target=”_blank”]coconut flour[/url]
- 1/4 cup [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RWUNYM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002RWUNYM&linkCode=as2&tag=coituppa-20&linkId=NV2YA4EY2EYFRFV2″ target=”_blank”]psyllium husk powder[/url]
- 1/2 teaspoon [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BD0SDU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000BD0SDU&linkCode=as2&tag=coituppa-20&linkId=CCZBJFBM35YVOE77″ target=”_blank”]salt[/url]
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons [url href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y7A6PA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003Y7A6PA&linkCode=as2&tag=coituppa-20&linkId=6T6FOL4C7FD4EEOV” target=”_blank”]apple cider vinegar[/url]
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Grease a muffin pan with a bit of butter or coconut oil.
- Whisk the eggs with the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Mix in the butter or coconut oil.
- Stir in the coconut flour, psyllium, salt, baking soda, and cider vinegar.
- Divide batter between 10 muffin cups.
- Bake for 20 minutes.

I’m new to low carb, paleo, gluten free world of cooking. I made a half recipe tonight to see if I’d like them. They’re not bad, a bit on the dry side. Wondering if a little more oil and/or egg white would help. And a splash of vanilla, because vanilla never hurt anything.
So I made these and they tast good, but have a strong baking soda aftertaste, is it possible to decrease the baking soda or will it not work? Thanks!
Yes you could definitely decrease the baking soda if you like.
These weren’t TOO coconut-y or eggy but kind of plain tasting. Do you think adding yeast for that bread-y flavor would alter the texture at all? The texture is great already but I’m missing that yeast smell and flavor.
You might be able to make rolls with my paleo french bread recipe if you’d like to use yeast.
Hi Heather, thank you the amazing recipe! I just wondered if these have a strong coconut flavor? If yes, would it be possible to replace a portion or all of the coconut flour with almond flour?
I don’t find these to have a strong coconut flavor. Using butter instead of coconut oil will decrease any coconut flavor as well. I wouldn’t sub almond flour for the coconut flour; I don’t think it would work.
Maybe a silly question…but can I make this into a bread by just pouring the mixture into a loaf pan? Thanks 🙂

Great job on developing this recipe! These rolls look amazing!!
These buns look absolutely delicious! I read somewhere that psyllium husk can be replaced with flaxseed and water mix. Would that work or are there any other alternatives?
I have tried make my low carb bread with flax instead of psyllium and the results were definitely not as good as using psyllium. So you could probably sub but I think the results would be different.
Made these rolls for thanksgiving, what a treat! I haven’t had an actual bread roll in over a year, so I was in heaven when I tried one fresh from the oven. Thank you for this delicious recipe 🙂
So happy you enjoyed them!!
These looks amazing!! Just in time for Thanksgiving, the perfect dinner rolls!
