Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (280g) almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (extra-virgin recommended)
  • ½ cup (120ml) warm water
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon xanthan gum for more structure
  • Optional: fresh orange zest and juice instead of honey for a bright flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy (about 1-2 minutes with a hand mixer). Add honey, olive oil, warm water, and apple cider vinegar. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until fully incorporated. If the batter feels too dry, add warm water one tablespoon at a time.
  5. Using wet hands or a small ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 8-10 equal balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven and transfer rolls to a cooling rack. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better rise. If rolls brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let rolls cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Optional xanthan gum can improve structure if almond flour is coarse. Store almond flour in airtight container in fridge for freshness.
