Keto Hawaiian Sweet Rolls Bread Recipe
This is another one of my favorite copycat recipes. I love how many ways there are to use these sweet rolls. Back before I was on the keto diet, I used to love making homemade sliders. You don’t have to give up recipes like that just because you are cutting back on carbs.
You just have to make them with low-carb ingredients.
To make these rolls, I relied on my favorite combination of almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese. This combination is also called fathead dough and people use it for all sorts of things. I used it to make keto Hot Pockets and keto bagel bites. This combination gives you a bread that is flaky and soft – not at all grainy or crumbly.
Keto Hawaiian Rolls
When you make these rolls, remember to use almond flour, not almond meal. If you use almond meal, you will get rolls that turn out grainy. Almond meal is made by grinding up entire almonds – skins and all.
You should also use full-fat cream cheese. If you don’t have cream cheese, you can use neufchatel. You can try to use ricotta but it isn’t as thick, so it will change the consistency of the rolls.
To make these rolls sweeter, I used Swerve brown sugar substitute. This is a rich sweetener that gives a deeper flavor profile to the rolls.
What To Eat With Hawaiian Rolls
There are so many delicious and easy ways to eat these rolls. Use them to make ham and cheese sliders. Or serve them with your favorite dinner. They will taste amazing with keto everything bagel chicken skillet. They are also perfect for a soup and sandwich lunch.
Serve them with a copycat Olive Garden salad and keto salmon stew.
You can also use them in your weekly meal prep. Scramble some eggs and pre-cook some bacon and you have an easy grab-and-go breakfast slider for the next morning!
They are the perfect sandwich bread replacement for the keto diet.
Gluten-Free Hawaiian Rolls
Even if you aren’t on the keto diet, these are fantastic rolls to make for anyone that must eat gluten-free. I like to serve these rolls at parties where I don’t know everyone’s dietary restrictions. They are pretty safe for almost any type of diet.
If you want, you can garnish them with fresh parsley. Or, to keep them extra-sweet, brush some melted butter and Swerve brown sugar substitute on top.

After you make these rolls, store them in an airtight bag or food storage container. You don’t have to refrigerate them. They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to a week.
To make them last the longest, I suggest freezing them. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and put the baking sheet in the freezer. Once they are frozen solid, place them together in a freezer-safe food storage bag. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.
