Are you following a low carb or gluten free lifestyle (I refuse to use the word diet) and missing bread? Need a bread roll for your keto and paleo lunch plan? Behold these flaxseed bread roll with just 2g net carbs each!
After dropping the husband off at the airport this week, my mind wandered to what I could bake that I enjoy and he wouldn't. I love flaxseed bread which he is not as keen on so thought I would try this in roll form and add psyllium husk powder to make it a bit more "bread-like". I was so delighted with the results that I shared it immediately on Facebook and the response made me push this recipe at the top of the list to publish.

Keto Dinner Rolls
This keto flaxseed bread recipe makes for great dinner rolls. They are great split and served with a filling or serve with a side of soup. Serve warm with a pat of butter.
Carbs in Flaxseed
Flaxseeds are low in carbohydrates. Here is the approximate carbohydrate content in flaxseeds:
Whole flaxseeds: About 7-8 grams of carbohydrates per 2 tablespoons (20 grams).
Ground flaxseeds (flaxseed meal): About 4-5 grams of carbohydrates per 2 tablespoons (13 grams).
The majority of the carbohydrates in flaxseeds come from dietary fiber, which can be beneficial for digestive health and may help control blood sugar levels.
Carbs in a bread roll
The carbohydrate content in a bread roll can vary depending on the size, type of bread, and the recipe used to make it. On average, a typical white bread roll (about 1 ounce or 28 grams) contains approximately 15-20 grams of carbohydrates.
A great contrast to this recipe which has just 2 grams net carbs per bun.

Just a few low carb ingredients make these keto buns.
- Ground flaxseed - you can grind your own or purchase it from stores.
