These Cheesy Keto Air Fryer Rolls are a delightful low-carb, gluten-free, and nut-free treat perfect for anyone following a keto lifestyle. Made with mozzarella and mascarpone cheese, these airy rolls come together quickly and bake in the air fryer for a soft, cheesy bread alternative that is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or alongside any meal.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 9 rolls

Ingredients

Cheese and Eggs

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese, softened)
  • 3 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ounces coconut flour (or 1/2 cup / 58 grams)
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • Butter to top each roll (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Cheese and Eggs: Place the shredded mozzarella cheese, mascarpone cheese, and eggs into a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can use a hand electric mixer or mix by hand in a bowl for the same effect.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the coconut flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the mixture. Blend again until all ingredients are well combined and form a uniform batter.
  3. Prepare Air Fryer Liners: Grease cupcake paper liners or use silicone cupcake liners and spoon the batter evenly into each liner. Arrange the filled liners evenly on the air fryer tray, making sure they have enough space to expand during cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Rolls: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the tray with the batter-filled liners inside, close the door, and set the timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, open the air fryer and optionally add some butter on top of each roll for extra richness.
  5. Finish Cooking: Return the tray to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the butter to melt and the rolls to finish baking.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for about 5 minutes before gently removing them from the cupcake liners. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy, keto-friendly air fryer rolls!

Notes

  • Can substitute mascarpone cheese with cream cheese if preferred.
  • Ensure the mozzarella is finely shredded for easier blending.
  • Butter on top is optional, but adds a delicious flavor and a nice golden finish to the rolls.
  • Use silicone liners if possible for easier removal of rolls.
  • These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
