Keto Pumpkin Roll Three Ways 🍂🎃

Few desserts feel more like fall than a soft pumpkin roll filled with cream cheese goodness. But traditional recipes are loaded with sugar and carbs. That’s where keto baking shines — we can keep the comforting flavors while slashing carbs, sugar, and guilt.

Below you’ll find three different takes on the Keto Pumpkin Roll:

  1. Pumpkin Butter Roll – featuring our homemade Keto Pumpkin Butter.

  2. Classic Cream Cheese Roll – a more traditional take, made keto-friendly.

  3. Chocolate Ganache Roll – rich, decadent, and perfect for chocolate lovers.

Each recipe includes an explanation of the ingredients, why we use them, and full nutrition facts.


Base Keto Pumpkin Roll Cake

Before we dive into fillings, here’s the cake we’ll use for all three.

Ingredients (Cake Layer)

  • 3 large eggs – Provide structure and lift. Eggs are crucial in keto baking since there’s no gluten from wheat to hold things together.

  • ½ cup Keystone Pantry Brown Sugar Substitute – Adds sweetness and warm molasses-like flavor without the carbs.

  • ½ cup pumpkin purée – Brings in natural pumpkin flavor and moisture. Use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances all flavors.

  • ¾ cup almond flour – A low-carb flour that gives body without spiking carbs.

  • 2 tbsp coconut flour – Absorbs moisture and keeps the cake from being too wet.

  • 1 tsp baking powder – Adds lightness and rise.

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice – A cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves for autumn flavor.

  • ¼ tsp salt – Balances sweetness and deepens flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment.

  2. Whisk eggs and brown sugar substitute until fluffy. Add pumpkin and vanilla.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, spice, and salt. Fold into wet mix.

  4. Spread evenly into pan. Bake 13–15 minutes, until springy.

  5. While warm, roll cake up in parchment. Let cool rolled so it keeps shape.

FAQ About Keto Pumpkin Roll

Q: Can I freeze keto pumpkin roll?
Yes! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Q: Why do we roll the cake while warm?
Rolling while warm sets the shape, preventing cracks when filled later.

Q: Can I use coconut flour only?
No. Coconut flour is highly absorbent. Using only coconut flour would make the cake dry and crumbly. Almond flour balances texture.

Q: What sweetener is best for keto pumpkin roll?
We recommend Keystone Pantry Allulose or Brown Sugar Substitute. They mimic sugar’s texture without bitterness or aftertaste.

Q: How do I keep the roll from cracking?
Don’t overbake, and always roll while still warm. A tea towel dusted with powdered allulose also helps prevent sticking.
