Almond flour works best for this keto recipe, but you can experiment with coconut flour. However, you’ll need to adjust the quantity as it absorbs more moisture.

You can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit sweetener or stevia, but be sure to check the conversion ratios for sweetness.

Yes! You can prepare the Keto Carrot Cake Roll a day in advance. Just refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve.
