Light and fluffy keto hamburger buns are as easy to make as they are delicious.
These tasty buns are made with gluten-free almond flour and high protein ingredients like eggs and flaxseed with no added preservatives.
Homemade keto buns are a game-changing addition to any low-carb lover’s lifestyle.
Make Keto Hamburger Buns Because…
- It’s wonderful to have a flavorful alternative to traditional buns all using basic keto ingredients.
- These buns are light, yet firm enough for burgers, with all the all the taste, texture, and performance of regular buns.
- They are a bit sweet and nutty, with a savory touch from the parmesan cheese.
- This no-rise recipe produces buns that have a crispy exterior and a slightly chewy interior.
Ingredients
Dough: Like most breads, this recipe works best when the ingredient amounts are followed properly. However, the parmesan can be switched out for mozzarella and the sweetener of choice can be omitted entirely. Be sure to look for almond flour and not almond meal, as the latter won’t hold the dough together properly.
Variations
- Experiment with a pinch of onion powder, cayenne, or a simple garlic herb seasoning for savory burger buns.
- Toasted sesame seeds, dried onion flakes, and dried parsley add bistro color and flavor to these keto buns.
- A brush of homemade chimichurri or sugar-free BBQ sauce will add a little color and flavor as well.
How To Make Keto Hamburger Buns
- Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, and wet ingredients in another. (Recipe below.)
- Divide dough into four buns and place on a prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake until golden brown.
Recipe Tips for Success
- For perfect hamburger buns, be sure to measure ingredients accurately.
- Eggs are best if used at room temperature. Set them out before assembling the other ingredients, or immerse in tepid water for a few minutes.
- Ovens and baking sheets vary with temperature. Watch the buns so they do not overbake.
- Brush tops with whisked egg before sprinkling on the sesame seeds for a shiny appearance and to help the sesame seeds adhere better.
- Cool buns completely before slicing so they don’t collapse.
