Keto Bread Rolls – Vegan + No Eggs
Keto bread rolls are the best egg-free keto breads to fix your bread cravings on a low-carb keto diet. A crispy almond flour bread recipe 100% Vegan, Gluten-free, and Dairy-free.
Keto bread rolls with no eggs
Don’t get me wrong here, I love my eggs but I don’t think eggs should be part of bread making. Eggs always add too much moisture and an eggy flavor to bread and I simply don’t like it. That’s why I make all my keto bread egg-free.
My favorite on the blog are my keto bread loaf for breakfast, my keto coconut flour flatbread, or keto flaxseed wraps for lunch, and now these bread rolls. Avoiding eggs in keto bread makes it more similar to traditional bread.
It tastes closer to real bread without the carbs. So these simple keto bread rolls are made of:
- Almond flour or almond meal as you like, both work.
- Coconut flour
- Psyllium husk – I am using whole psyllium husk, it’s what adds a chewy/bready texture to low carb bread. It’s 100% fiber so there are no carbs in this recipe. Don’t use Metamucil fiber supplements in my recipes though, it’s not the same product as whole psyllium husk fiber. Metamucil is a husk powder that’s not suitable for baking keto bread. It will turn food dry, purple, or blue.
- Apple cider vinegar – as there’s no gluten in this recipe, the combination of vinegar and baking powder gives a little raise to these keto bread rolls.
- Baking powder or baking soda – use half if you swap for baking soda.
- Salt – optional but I love to add a bit of salt in my bread.
- Olive oil or vegetable oil you like.
- Water – use hot water, not boiling, think bath temperature.
How to enjoy your dinner rolls?
There are plenty of options to enjoy these as part of your keto diet. I will share below all my favorite ways to enjoy these simple keto bread rolls.

- Breakfast: simply cut them halfway and spread some fresh salty butter, peanut butter and add some homemade chia seed jam or fresh keto fruits. Delicious! My tip: toast them for extra crispiness, especially a few days later as they get softer.
- Dinner: as a side to your favorite curry or to enjoy some creamy cheese like Camembert!
- Lunch: these are perfect to make small sandwiches or even burgers. They are delicious filled with fresh avocado, mayonnaise, and any meat or roasted vegetables.
How to store vegan keto bread?
They don’t contain eggs or dairy, meaning they store very well at room temperature. Also, they freeze really well if you plan to make-ahead for a busy week.
- Pantry: store your bread wrapped in a clean towel for up to 6 days. The towel will keep them fresh and prevents the bread from hardening. They will get softer within days but you can simply cut them halfway and toast before eating to add a little crisp. Otherwise, return to the hot oven for 5-8 minutes at 180C (375F) if you really want the bread crust to be extra crispy.
- Freeze: feel free to double the recipe, bake the bread and freeze them for later. Defrost the day before on a plate at room temperature. Rewarm in your oven or in a toaster – cut halfway and toast them 1 minute on high. I recommend to freeze them in Ziploc bags to prevent the bread texture from changing.

Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut Flour
- ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons Whole Psyllium Husk
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 cup Hot Water think hot bath temperature like 40C
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C) Lay a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients first: almond flour, coconut flour, whole psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Add apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and stir in the hot water. Combine for 1 minute with a spatula, the water will absorb gradually, drying out the mixture to create the bread dough. It should stay a bit soft and sticky, that is normal, but you should be able to form a ball with your hand. If not, add slightly more husk 1 teaspoon at a time. You want the ball to hold together, it's OK if it's moist. Don't add more than 1 tablespoon of husk.
- Set aside 10 minutes to let the fiber absorb the liquid. The dough should be elastic, soft, and easy to divide into 6 small balls.
- Roll each small ball between your hands and place them one by one on the baking tray. No need to leave more than half a thumb between each bread as they won't expand while baking.
- With a pastry brush, brush the top of each bread ball with a bit of tap water.
- Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of each bread - optional but delicious!
- Bake for 40-45 minutes at 180°C (375°F). I recommend you place the tray at the very BOTTOM of the oven for 30 minutes then swap to the TOP level of the oven for 10-15 extra minutes. If you love your bread crusty turn onto grill mode for an extra 5 minutes after 40-45 minutes of baking time. Watch them closely to prevent the top from burning - if you use the grill method.
- Fully cool down a cooling rack.
- Slice halfway and enjoy like a bread roll with butter, ham, or cheese.
- Store in the pantry for 5-6 days. I wrap mine in a towel to keep them fresh and rewarm them sliced in my toaster to add some crispiness. You can also freeze the bread and double the recipe to make more of it ahead.

Hello from New York City, US. I thought you might get a chuckle from my experience. I have not eaten bread for a while because I’m transitioning to a lower carb, sugar free diet. I guess I was just too excited by your recipe that I didn’t read it all that well. I used whole psyllium husk (only 1/4 cup and 2 cups of hot water. I cut one roll to taste straight out of the oven and it was a bit gummy (tasted great)so I put the rest of the rolls back into the oven and baked them a few more minutes. They were amazing! i would give them 10 stars if possible. I assume that the rolls will be unbelievably good when I make the recipe as written. Thank you so much for the great recipe.
I am wondering if any has tried this with tapioca starch instead of almond flour. We are not doing Keto. We do have nut allergies. Thanks
Tapioca starch is high in carbs and not keto friendly so I won’t recommend that option. It will also make the bred very hard, not soft as almond flour that is a moist, low carb flour.
Are the sesame seeds you use on top of the rolls hulled or non-hulled?
I am not sure, but both are delicious and keto friendly.
Can I use oat flour instead of Almond flour? I have a lot of food sensitivities almond and cashews bother me.
Oat flour is not a keto flour, but it should work yes
Can you give weights in grams for the flours please
Click the metric button before the ingredient list to convert recipe in grams
Did it ! Very easy to make. Love the taste. Thanks
Super recipe thank you! I didn’t have almond flour so i substitute for sunflower seed flour and they super delicious. My favourite bread rolls
Hi could I make this into a loaf of bread?
Sure
I was wondering if I can sub the psyllium husk for ground flax meal?
No I am sorry, it won’t work here.
I have Phyllum husk powder..is that ok
Psyllium husk powder can make the rolls too wet or blue/purple in color, feel free to experiment.
This bread tastes amazing. I love making it. The aroma while it is baking is even better than normal bread. I’m hooked!
Best keto bread I made and I have made a lot of them….
Best gluten bread I eat ! Perfect texture, and grest taste 🙂
These are excellent and so easy. Mine did not rise a huge amount but the taste was superb
The rolls did not rise at all
The recipe says that these don’t rise, they are gluten-free bread rolls. That’s why the recipe mention to shape round balls to keep the breads fluffy
Could the coconut flour be omitted?
Not at all, it won’t hold together
Hello Carine, I wanted to know if it is 37 grams of psyllium or is it a mistake. It seems a lot to me amount. Thanks.
All measurement are correct, this is an egg-free keto bread recipe so the husk is the binder, you need this amount.
Dear Carine, my mom has allergy to almonds. She can substitute it for nuts flour or other keto flour. And if this is possible, should she use the same amount? Thanks.
You can replace almond flour by sunflower seed flour or sesame flour, same amount. Both are keto friendly. Enjoy
Do you think these will cook up in a micro? Full time VanLife and only have a micro. Perhaps I’ll try them and let you know if/how they turn out
Thanks for your awesome
Keto healthy, creative recipes
Not at all, you must bake these bread in the oven I am sorry. You can use my keto bread microwave recipe instead if you don’t have a oven. Enjoy
Really excellent recipe. Mine turn out darker due to the husk, but I love this. They taste great and are so easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
Delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe. 🙂
They taste very similar to Unbuns I buy from the grocery store, except waaaay better! I’ll be making these from now on. 🙂
