Keto Buns Recipe
Ingredients
- Shredded Cheese: Mozarella cheese is recommended for its mild flavor, but cheddar cheese can also be used for a cheesier taste.
- Cream Cheese: Full fat and softened.
- Eggs: You'll need two eggs for the dough and another to brush on top for a shiny, brown crust.
- Almond Flour: Ensure it's blanched almond flour, not almond meal.
- Baking Powder: To give the buns stability and structure.
- Sesame Seeds: Optional, for topping the buns.
Instructions
- Prep Cheese Mixture:
- Combine your shredded cheese and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20-second spurts until mostly melted, then whisk until combined.
- Let it cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Transfer the dry mixture to a food processor.
- Add the cooled cheese mixture and two eggs.
- Pulse at high speed until mostly combined.
- Form Buns:
- Remove the dough from the food processor and knead until smooth.
- Form into 4-6 large balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with a little milk and brush the tops of the buns.
- Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake:
- Bake at a pre-heated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes before slicing in half to use.
Tips for the Best Keto Burger Buns
- Temperature: Make sure the cheese mixture is warm but not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs when mixed.
- Baking: If using multiple baking trays, bake one at a time to prevent the buns from deflating.
- Serve Warm: For the best texture, serve these buns warm.
- Slide Buns Option: For slider buns, form smaller balls of dough and reduce baking time by 2 minutes.
Storing and Freezing
- Storing: Keep leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.
- Freezing: Slice the buns in half, place them in a ziplock bag, and freeze for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: Microwave for 30 seconds or heat sliced halves in a non-stick pan until warm.
