    These easy coconut bread rolls are made with coconut flour and psyllium husk powder making them keto, low carb, paleo and gluten-free. Enjoy them as a keto dinner roll with butter, or fill them for a tasty lunch.

    After my delight with the flaxseed bread rolls, I thought that I would have a play with another low carb bread roll and used coconut flour.  The key to these is the psyllium husk powder as they make the coconut flour rolls more "bread like" and is almost essential in low carb and gluten free baking now as it as a binder in the absence of gluten.

    I was asked if they tasted "coconutty" which I don't think that they do too much.   I think the addition of the flax-seed flour takes the edge off any coconut flavour.  I added it to give the roll an added texture as the mixture seemed to be a bit too wet for my liking. Coconut flour can sometimes have an acquired taste but I've made a batch with onion powder and herbs which were delicious.  Perhaps try them plain, then see how you go and add some other herbs and flavours.

    • Coconut Flour Rolls

    IS COCONUT FLOUR KETO?

    Coconut flour is a type of flour made from ground dried coconuts. It is high in fiber, low in carbohydrate and high in protein. A 1oz (28g) serving is 8g net carbohydrates with 6g protein and 10g fiber.

    Coconut flour can initially take a while to adjust to baking with for low carb bread recipes as it absorbs a lot of liquid and needs a lot of eggs with just a small volume of flour. It's one of my favorite flours to bake keto bread recipes with now.

    INGREDIENTS

    The absorbency of liquid can vary between different coconut flour brands so you may need additional hot water when making this recipe. Add a bit of water at a time until you have a firm and pliable dough.

    A tip with the psyllium husk powder is to run it through a coffee grinder to make it finer in texture. It helps prevent and gritty texture in these keto bread rolls.

    HOW TO MAKE COCONUT FLOUR ROLLS

    Don't worry if the mixture looks a bit wet, just fashion some rolls the best you can and they will bake fine.  I find using wet hands to do this helps.

    dry ingredients for keto bread rolls
    add eggs to dry coconut flour mixture

    Mix all the dry ingredients

    Add the eggs and egg whites

    Pour apple cider over the low carb dough
    hot water added to coconut flour dough

    Pour the apple cider vinegar over the mixture

    Add hot water to the dough, a bit at a time.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can you freeze these coconut flour rolls?

    These coconut flour rolls freeze well too!  I've started making a weekly batch and pop some in the freezer.  That way I have some on hand if I am having soup or fancy a snack.  Or take out the freezer the night before so I can have one toasted with my morning eggs. 

    How do you store the low carb rolls?

    Keep the low carb bread rolls in the refrigerator and ideally in a sealed container. If they start to become too moist, pop them in a hot oven or air fryer for a crispier roll.

    Can you substitute almond flour for coconut flour

    If you want to make these low carb bread rolls with almond flour, increase the flour to 2 cups.

    Can I use this mixture to make a loaf of bread?

    Use a 1lb loaf pan and cook for about 10 minutes longer for a keto coconut flour bread. You may need to double up the recipe for a large loaf as this only makes 6 small rolls (4 medium burger sized rolls)

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ½ cup coconut flour
    • 4 tablespoons flaxseed ground
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 large egg whites
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup boiling water more may be required

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F degrees
    • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    • Place the coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, flax-seed flour and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
    • Add the coconut oil and eggs and blend well until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
    • Add the apple cider vinegar and mix well.
    • Gently add the water, a bit at time and stir into the mixture (you may not need it all).
    • Using your hands, make a ball of the dough (I find keeping my hands wet helps with the sticky dough).
    • Place the balls on the parchment paper lined baking tray.
    • Make for 30 minutes until golden and firm.

      Can you substitute xanthan gum for psyllium husk powder?
      Psyllium Husk Substitute

      You use less guar gum or xanthan gum. Don't replace it as a 1:1. Only use ½ to ⅓ as much. For example: The recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk, use 2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.

      I've just made these rolls, and am so disappointed in them! They've barely risen! And the texture is so solid. I've been baking and cooking for a great many years, so I don't know where I've gone wrong.

        The psyllium does help the bread mixture bind so substituting it may result in a different texture. My best guess would be a flax egg or ground chia seeds.

      How do you measure the flax:
      -- 4 Tbsp whole flax, then grind it?
      -- Or grind the flax then measure 4 Tbsp of the powder?

        I use the ground flax from a packet. I would measure whole by grinding it first.

      I tried these yesterday as was looking at a nut-free bread (school and allergies), and they are awesome!!! A bit on the sweeter side, but like someone mentioned, I will subs butter for the coconut oil. Also, I plugged all the ingredients in the Carb Manager and it gives me 3 net grams of carbs per roll... Anyhow, thanks for the great recipe!!

      My Giddy Aunt...

      I've been low carb/keto(ish) for years and have struggled, until now, to find a good low carb bread that aint dry...

      ... And these aint dry!! Almond flour is my usual favoured medium but these are lovely.. Perhaps its the egg whites?!?!

      I might try these with the coconut subbed for almond flour.. Have you tried this?

      Anywhoo.. Thank you for sorting out a bit of bread I can actually eat with the family, though not my vegan wife!!

      ...Any thoughts on an egg free version?

      That, I suspect, would be the holy grail..

        Delighted you enjoy them! Try my rosemary & olive bread too, I think you will enjoy that! An egg free bread roll is possible and something on the list to work on. The trick would be getting the bread to rise though..

      Hi, just made these - they didn’t rise and they were very dense. Do you think that I should have added more water? They were relatively easy to form into rolls so I’m thinking that my coconut flour absorbed more than yours? They taste OK by the way.

        Coconut flour can vary from brand to brand. They should have rose though. Perhaps add more water and an extra dash of baking powder the next time!

      Jut wondering if you could post some pics of the process of making these rolls. Despite my best efforts my buns don't rise or end up fluffy like other rolls-they are still delicious but very dense/doughy & more of a dinner roll than a sandwich roll. ??
