Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add melted butter to the eggs and mix until completely incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Allow the dough to rest for 3-5 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb moisture, which will help bind the ingredients.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Using your hands, shape each portion into a round burger bun shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the shaped buns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
- Optional: Brush the top of each bun with an extra beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the buns horizontally and use for your favorite low-carb burger or sandwich.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't skip the resting time for the dough - this allows the coconut flour to absorb moisture and creates a better consistency.
- Use a kitchen scale for precise ingredient measurements to guarantee the perfect bun texture.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like dried rosemary or garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
- If the dough feels too wet, add a tiny bit more almond flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.
- Make sure to space the buns evenly on the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation.
- Let the buns cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- These buns can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer preservation.
