Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the water, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while stirring until a thick dough forms.
In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the dough mixture, incorporating them evenly.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
With a sharp knife, gently score each roll with an 'X' on top to help them expand while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
