Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 buns
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of almond flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and ½ tsp of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, crack 3 large eggs and beat them lightly. Add 2 tbsp of melted butter and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to the eggs, and mix until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or spoon until a dough forms. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions. Use your hands to shape each portion into a round bun shape, approximately ½ inch thick.
- Place the shaped buns onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for any expansion during baking.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle some additional almond flour on top of the buns for a decorative touch.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, your low carb hamburger buns are ready to be sliced and used for your favorite burgers or sandwiches. Enjoy!
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, ensure that you measure your almond flour and other ingredients accurately. Too much or too little can affect the texture of your buns.
- Don’t Skip the Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper is essential to prevent sticking. It makes transferring the buns a breeze!
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the dough for an extra flavor kick. Garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning can work wonders.
- Shape Uniformly: When dividing the dough, try to make each bun as uniform in size as possible. This ensures even baking and a consistent texture.
- Cool Completely: Allow the buns to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps them set and makes them easier to cut without crumbling.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Just pop them in the toaster to reheat!
- Perfect Pairings: These buns are versatile! Try them with grilled chicken, veggie patties, or even as a base for a breakfast sandwich. The possibilities are endless!
