Almond Flour Enriched Dinner Rolls

These almond flour enriched dinner rolls are delicious and extra nutritious thanks to the addition of almond flour in this recipe. The addition of almond flour cuts the overall carbohydrates down from regular rolls and ups the protein and healthy fats. These also fill you up quicker and seem to stick with you a little longer because of the extra fats and proteins in them.

I love rolls but also have to watch my carbohydrates due to PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome, an endocrine which causes insulin related issues). So I love to play around with different add in’s and adjustments to lessen the carbs a bit while still keeping things delicious.

I feel better about eating these rolls for the holidays or special family meals and I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing any flavor or texture. If you make this recipe into 20 rolls then 1 roll is about 11.9 net carbs, with 6.5 grams fat and 2.4 grams of protein. They are also 118 calories per roll.
