As someone who’s always loved warm, fluffy rolls with a bit of garlic and butter, it was tough to find a keto-friendly alternative that could match the taste of regular bread. But once I made these Keto Garlic Butter Rolls, I was hooked! The moment I pulled them out of the oven, the kitchen smelled heavenly—garlic butter wafting through the air. The rolls themselves were soft, pillowy, and had just the right amount of garlic and butter. Honestly, they remind me so much of the classic garlic bread I used to enjoy. If you’ve been missing the taste of bread on your keto journey, these rolls will be your new favorite treat.

Gather These Tools Before You Start Cooking!

• Mixing Bowls
  A good set of mixing bowls is essential for this recipe, especially since you’ll be mixing both dry and wet ingredients. I love having a variety of sizes so I can separate ingredients easily. A medium-sized bowl works great for combining the almond flour and other dry ingredients.
• Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer
  A stand mixer (or a hand mixer) makes mixing the dough a breeze. It saves time and effort, ensuring that the dough comes together without any lumps. I use my mixer for everything from bread to cakes—trust me, it’s worth the investment!
• Baking Sheet
  A non-stick baking sheet ensures your rolls don’t stick to the surface while baking, giving you perfectly browned rolls every time. I’ve learned that having a good quality, flat baking sheet helps the rolls cook evenly and results in that perfect texture.
• Silicone Baking Mat or Parchment Paper
  Using a silicone baking mat or parchment paper ensures the rolls bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan. I prefer a silicone mat because it’s reusable, making cleanup a breeze.
• Brush for Butter
  A small brush is perfect for brushing the garlic butter over the rolls before and after baking. It allows for even coverage and makes sure every bite is packed with that delicious garlic butter flavor.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Almond Flour (2 cups)
  Almond flour is the base of this keto-friendly dough. It gives the rolls a soft, tender texture without all the carbs. You can’t substitute almond flour with regular flour, but if you need a nut-free alternative, you can try sunflower seed flour.
• Baking Powder (2 teaspoons)
  This helps the dough rise and gives the rolls their fluffy texture. There’s no direct substitute, but if you don’t have baking powder, you could try using a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar.
• Eggs (2 large)
  Eggs provide structure to the dough and contribute to the soft texture. If you need an egg substitute, try flax eggs (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg).
• Mozzarella Cheese (1 cup, shredded)
  The mozzarella cheese gives the rolls that melt-in-your-mouth softness and slightly chewy texture. If you’re dairy-free, you could substitute with a vegan cheese that melts well.
• Cream Cheese (4 oz)
  Cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture that binds the dough together. You can substitute with goat cheese or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative if needed.
• Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
  Fresh garlic is essential for that bold, aromatic flavor. You can use garlic powder in a pinch, but fresh garlic really gives these rolls an authentic taste.
• Butter (1/4 cup, melted)
  The butter makes the rolls incredibly rich and adds that classic flavor. For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil.
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  Salt enhances all the flavors and helps balance the richness of the butter. You can reduce the amount of salt if you’re on a low-sodium diet.
• Parsley (for garnish)
  Fresh parsley gives the rolls a nice pop of color and a fresh flavor that complements the garlic butter.

How to Make Keto Garlic Butter Rolls

1. Prepare the Dough
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
2. Shape the Rolls
   Wet your hands slightly to prevent the dough from sticking, then divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball into a slightly flattened shape.
3. Bake the Rolls
   Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter
   While the rolls are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
5. Coat the Rolls
   When the rolls are done baking, immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and extra flavor.

Tips for this Recipe

• Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overmixing can make the rolls tough. Mix just until the dough comes together.
• Keep the Rolls Moist: These rolls are best served fresh, but you can cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm until you’re ready to serve.

Optional Additions

• Cheese: For extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle some shredded parmesan on top of the rolls before baking.
• Herbs: Add dried oregano or thyme to the dough for extra savory flavor.
