Aunt Rocky’s Magic Dough Buns/Rolls (LCHF, Grain-free)

Line baking sheet with parchment paper, or oil 6 wells in a muffin top pan and set aside.

Soften cream cheese in microwave just until it begins to melt and can be stirred (about 30–35 seconds). Add eggs and whisk until you have a creamy consistency. Add the dry ingredients and whisk well. Let rest for 10 minutes.

While the dough is resting and thickening, preheat oven to 350ºF.

After 10 minutes, the dough should be stiff. Divide into 6 portions and scoop onto baking sheet. Using wet fingers, shape dough into desired shape and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes; tops will be lightly browned, and bun will be springy to touch.

Transfer to cooling rack. Once buns are completely cooled, split with a thin serrated knife.

May be stored on the counter for several days, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for several months.

I don’t get any commission or kickback for products I use or mention in my recipes. Brand names are included only to more accurately assess nutritional estimates, which are based on exact ingredients I used. Nutrition estimates are calculated per serving with My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. If you make any changes to the ingredients, your results may differ. The recipe is stored there and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. I do not include sugar alcohols or liquid sucralose in my nutrition counts, as they are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index.

Serving size is 1 of 6 buns, or 2 of 12 dinner rolls.
