Are dumplings high in carbs?

Traditional dumplings made with wheat flour are quite high in carbs—often 20 to 25 grams per serving—making them off-limits for low-carb or keto diets. But these low-carb dumplings change the game. By using almond flour, cheese, and psyllium, you get all the chew and flavor without the carb overload.

Are steamed dumplings low carb?

Not usually. Steaming doesn’t change the carb content—it just affects texture. Store-bought or restaurant steamed dumplings are still made with high-carb wrappers. If you want truly low-carb dumplings , you’ll need to make your own with alternative flours like almond or coconut.

How do you make carb quick dumplings?

For fast, low-carb dumplings, use melted mozzarella as the base. It binds beautifully with almond flour and forms a dough in minutes. Just roll, fill, and cook. No rising time. No kneading. That’s how I make mine quick—especially when prepping meals alongside favorites like my Keto Bagel Recipe with Greek Yogurt .

Can you make healthy dumplings?

Absolutely. These low-carb dumplings are loaded with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Skip the sugar-packed sauces and use lean meats, tofu, or veggies in the filling. It’s real comfort food—without the carb crash.
