Perfect for anyone following a low-carb lifestyle, these Low Carb Pumpkin Seed Rolls are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional bread. Packed with wholesome ingredients like almond flour, ground flaxseed, and raw pumpkin seeds, they are gluten-free, keto-friendly, and high in fiber thanks to psyllium husk powder. A touch of apple cider vinegar gives the rolls a subtle tang, while melted butter ensures they are moist and rich in flavor. With a simple prep time of just 15 minutes and golden-brown perfection achieved in the oven after a 40-minute bake, these rolls are ideal for breakfast, lunch, or as a side dish to any meal. Sprinkle extra pumpkin seeds for garnish to add a delightful crunch and visual appeal. Whether served warm with butter or paired with savory toppings, these rolls are a guilt-free way to enjoy fresh-baked bread while staying true to your low-carb goals.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground flaxseed meal, pumpkin seeds, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well-beaten. Add the melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and water, then mix until fully combined.
Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring as you go. Once combined, add the psyllium husk powder and mix well, until the dough becomes thick but sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a roll, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle some extra pumpkin seeds on top of each roll for garnish, pressing them gently into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
