    Keto Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

    Jump to Recipe Rate this Recipe

    These Keto Hawaiian Sweet Rolls are so easy to make, using common low carb and gluten-free ingredients. Plus they taste so delicious that you won't believe they are low carb!

    You have no idea how excited I am to share this recipe. I have to admit, that I was actually really surprised just how good these turned out. 

    I've tried keto rolls before but never found one that really hit the spot. These, on the other hand, are everything that I was hoping they would be and more. They are my go-to dinner roll and also my go-to bread for sandwiches and pretty much just my go-to bread. 

    Be forewarned that while these taste very similar to tradition Hawaiian rolls, they don't have the same soft, pillowy texture. These rolls are more biscuit-like in texture, but delicious nonetheless.

    Ingredients and substitutions

    The ingredients for these Keto Hawaiian Rolls are pretty standard in a well-stocked ketogenic pantry. The only exception to this is the Xanthan Gum. This helps bind the rolls and gives them that bread like elasticity. If you leave it out, be aware that you will have a more crumbly roll. 

    For the mozzarella cheese, stick with low moisture. Most pre-shredded mozzarella cheeses are low-moisture, part-skim so this should be pretty easy to find. If you use regular mozzarella cheese, your dough will be too wet. If that's the case, just add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut flour. 

    I LOVE Lakanto Golden in this recipe. It has the great depth of flavor that you get from brown sugar or honey, but not the extra moisture. I highly recommend it, but if you don't have it you can substitute with any erythritol based sweetener.

    The only other ingredient to note is the baking powder. You will want to use aluminum free baking powder and if you can find it, a low sodium version (I've linked to the one I used below). 

    Since this recipe calls for so much baking powder, it can cause a pretty bitter taste if you don't stick with the aluminum free. I find that they can also be a tad salty depending upon which brands of cheese you use, so cutting the sodium in the baking powder is a good idea if you can get your hands on it. 

    Cooking and preparation technique

    The hardest thing about making this recipe, was nailing down the cooking technique. It was tough to get the dough to cook through without getting burned on the outside. 

    Be sure to follow the cooking instructions, most importantly covering the baking dish with foil. In a pinch, you could even sit a flat baking sheet over the top if the baking dish, but be sure it's covered. 

    It's also important that you chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling or baking. It's a pretty sticky dough, so rolling it when it's still warm, or even room temp, won't be fun for anyone. 

    Even still it's going to be on the sticky side. Sprinkling with the coconut flour helps, and if all else fails, you can use wet hands.

    Prevent your screen from going dark
    Servings 15 rolls
    Prep Time 30 minutes mins
    Cook Time 1 hour hr

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups low-moisture, shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 6 oz cream cheese
    • 1 cup super fine almond flour
    • 5 tablespoon coconut flour divided
    • ¼-1/3 cup Lakanto Golden or other Erythritol Based Sweetener
    • 4 tablespoon aluminum free baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
    • 3 large eggs

    Instructions
     

    • Combine the Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the cheeses are fully melted.
    • Add the almond flour, 3 tablespoon of coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Mix until the ingredients are mostly mixed in, then add the eggs. Continue mixing until you have a uniform dough.  I find it easiest to use a rubber spatula, but be prepared, this part can take a while. 
    • Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 7x11 baking dish (an 8x8 or 9x9 would also work).
    • Remove the dough from the fridge and sprinkle the top with some of the remaining coconut flour. Using your hands, roll the dough into 12-15 balls a little bigger than a golf ball. Sprinkle with more coconut flour if the dough becomes too sticky to handle. 
    • Place the balls of dough into the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until the rolls are browned and are not super squishy when you press on the center.

      Hello, I am new to the Keto lifestyle and am having a hard time with new recipes. Mostly because A LOT of them call for eggs. I am not a fan of the “eggy” taste in my food. What can I use to substitute the eggs in this recipe? I would love to try it !

        The eggs are pretty vital to this recipe, and I'm not really sure that they could be substituted. I will say, that these rolls do not taste at all eggy as they are. Hope that helps! if you decide to make them let me know what you think!

        You can use chia seed or flax seed egg substitute. 1 tbl chia seed meal or flax seed meal to 3 tbl of water mixture turn into a gooey substance like eggs. Perfect for baking! This recipe equals 1 egg. (Use a coffee grinder to make your own chia seed meal or flax seed meal. It's the best!! Try it you will not be sorry!! I hope this helps! 😉

      I was looking for a low carb replacement for my usual Hawaiian hamburger buns for my brisket sandwich. I came across your recipe and decided to make it today. Wow these are so good!! We are having brisket tomorrow for dinner and I can't wait to have it on one of these rolls!! I made mine a little larger to try to make them sandwich size so I got 10 rolls, but they are more like sliders. Thank you for your awesome recipe!!

      I was really excited to do some baking with my new oven. I followed this recipe exactly as it is written. After I removed the foil and baked it for the last 15 minutes, I pulled them out and let them cool... the insides were still eggy and moist. I put them back in the oven for just a couple more minutes to try to get rid of the eggy-ness. The tops and corners browned up pretty crispy. Ultimately, the recipe came out like sweet cornbread. I just wish these turned out fluffier ...like rolls.

      Super yummy. I just made these. While they are not exactly roll like (like you said), they are super yummy. Very buttery and soft. I would recommend adding more towards the 1/3 side of the sweetener. I used classic monkfruit and they just have a hint of sweetness. Still delicious! But if you want the true hawaiin sweet roll I'd use the higher suggested amount.

      Thank you for an amazing recipe!

        I Made to the letter of recipe however disappointed in final outcome Appearance. Recipe said to roll in balls-made 15 in a 9x9 square pan. I did exactly as directed And the rolls never changed size. Your pic shows square rolls that fill the pan ??? ( I checked the date on baking powder good till 2020). They did taste very good but a little too brown on bottom.

          I made these this morning and they taste great. Like you, and the rolls didn't change their size in a significant degree. Yes, they were too brown on the bottom. I wondered if it was my over or if I should have removed the foil at the forty minute mark. I'll work it out because I will make these again tomorrow since there aren't many left (the non Keto folks ate some too!). Thanks for the recipe!

      Hello!

      I made these according to the recipe and they are delicious! However, is it possible to use just HALF of the baking powder? I used 4 TBSP aluminum free baking powder as the recipe indicates and it was a bit too salty for my taste. They are certainly worth tweaking and I will be making again soon! Please advise. Thank you!

        So glad that you enjoyed them! You can reduce the baking powder, but you will not achieve the same texture. You can also look for low sodium, aluminum free Baking powder which helps a TON! Here is the one I use - https://amzn.to/2PZneJu

      These are ok. The sweetness is not noticeable at all really, but perhaps I needed low-sodium baking powder and it would have tasted sweeter. I was hesitant about using the amount of baking powder in the recipe... and I should have cut it back. It actually stings the tongue! I always use aluminum-free but it's just too much! ... And with all that baking powder, mine were still dense just like any other fathead dough recipe I've tried.

        It's hard to tell what happened. It could definitely be related to the pan you used. You might try to cook them at a lower temperature, for a little bit longer next time and see if that helps.

        The coconut flour gives these rolls a little bit more of a bread like texture. You should be able to sub with some extra almond flour, but I haven’t tested it myself so I can’t say for sure. If you try it let me know how it goes!

        Hi Katie, The trickiest part about baking these is getting the inside cooked through without burning the outside. If you are going to make small mini loaves, I think that the baking time would be about the same. But for a larger loaf, I would try reducing the oven temp by about 15-25 degrees and adding an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time. I haven't tried baking it as a loaf, so this is just my best guess. If you try it I would love to hear how it goes!

      Thank you so much for this recipe! I’ve tried them all and this is the most satisfying keto bread ever! It’s not really Hawaiian sweet bread because it’s missing the texture but it’s delicious on its on. We have it in the morning with coffee and it’s like having coffee with a sweet and hearty muffin. Love it and making our third batch this weekend.

      Delicious! Made this exactly as written, but I only had Clabber Girl baking powder and I used whole milk shredded mozzarella not part skim. So...I ended up with a pan of cornbread. No rolls! What happened? Was it the mozzarella that made it all spread together? I also agree that I need non aluminum baking powder. I could tell it was a little bitter. He who doesn’t like low carb, keto, etc scarfed it down!

        Hi Lee Ann! It's hard to say why they all ran together, but it definitely could have to do with the cheese as part-skim tends to be a little dryer. Some people have opted to bake the rolls in a muffin tin so that might be a good option if you want to make them again.

        Thanks for the great review!

      These are pretty good as far as biscuits go, too heavy to call a roll in my opinion. They don’t rise very much so I would make them larger next time but I would make them again 🙂

        Hi Leslie, they should turn out fine without the Xanthan gum! Happy Thanksgiving!

      I'd like to make these and use them to do party ham & cheese rolls. The orignal recipe uses King's Hawaiin Rolls where you leave them together but slice them horizontally through the entire package, then layer on ham & swiss cheese. Then you mix up butter, yellow mustard, minced onion, poppy seeds and worchestershire sauce, in a saucepan to brush over the tops. This is the recipe I'm trying to makeover using your rolls: https://www.thespruceeats.com/party-ham-roll-sandwiches-recipe-3050622

      How do you think these would do to make a ketofied Party Ham Rolls https://www.thespruceeats.com/party-ham-roll-sandwiches-recipe-3050622? You halve the block of rolls horizontally, spread with a mixture of melted butter, yellow mustard, poppy seeds, minced onion and worchestershire sauce, then top with ham and cheese, wrap in foil and bake. I'm going to try using your recipe for this and will let you know how it works.

      Seriously incredible-I wasn’t ready for how absolutely delicious and soft they were. Probably one of my favorite keto recipes.

      I just made these Hawaiian rolls, and they are FABULOUS!!! I didn't put any xanthan gum (I don't have any), and I only put 2 1/2 Tbls. of baking powder, based on what everyone was saying about them being saltier with the full amount of 4 Tbls. I put the higher amount of 1/3 cup of the Golden Lakanto sweetener, which I had never used before (very good!), and I brushed on some butter as they were finishing up in the oven without the foil. I had one of these straight out of the oven, and it was DEEEEELICIOUS!!! (I will post a picture on your IG, but it will be missing a piece! Lol! Thank you for the great recipe!

      My hubs and I absolutely loved this recipe. I even used it for a pizza crust by reducing the sweetener and adding a buttery Italian seasoning.

      It seems so random....how these turn out. Any suggestions for mile high baking? More or less baking powder?

        Hi Sharon! I think a lot of the issues can come from the cheese. I have actually been experimenting with this recipe lately to try and come to the bottom of it myself 🙂 I have found that some cheeses that even amount "low-moisture" cheeses there is quite a bit of difference between the moisture level which can really throw off the recipe. So far I have actually had the best luck with kraft shredded cheese, and Kroger brand shredded cheese. If the dough seems too wet and won't hold it's shape, then you can knead in a little extra coconut flour.

        Also, it is SUPER important to use fresh aluminum-free baking powder. If you can't find that or you aren't sure if yours is fresh then I recommend cutting the baking powder in half. The rolls may not rise quite as much but will taste much better then if your baking powder isn't right.

        Lastly, I would also say just remember what I said at the beginning of the post. These will not have the same light and airy texture as a traditional Hawaiian roll, but the taste should be a good match.

        I hope all this helps and I'd love to hear how it goes if you decide to give this recipe a try!

      This recipe turned out great! We even experimented a little, and added veggies like chives, peppers, etc. to one side, and that was delicious also! The only thing I would do differently (only because my oven seems to have cooked faster) is to reduce the baking time by 10 minutes or so. Just make sure you watch it keeping that in mind
