Description
Fluffy, tender, and low-carb, these super soft keto buns mimic traditional bread while staying completely keto-friendly. Perfect for sandwiches, burgers, or breakfast buns.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups super fine almond flour
5 tbsp psyllium husk powder
1 cup boiling water + 1/4 cup extra (optional)
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
3 egg whites, room temperature
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg yolk (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Break up any clumps.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Using a hand mixer, whisk the egg whites with apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Add the hot water and beaten egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, avoiding over-kneading.
- Oil your hands, divide the dough, and form 6 buns. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each bun with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the buns form a hard crust and are golden brown.
- Serve warm, toasted, or topped with butter.
Notes
Add dried herbs like oregano or rosemary for an herbed variation.
Mix in garlic powder or onion powder for extra savory flavor.
Swap sesame seeds for poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
Let the dough rest briefly if it becomes sticky.
