Tips for the best keto burger buns

Mix well: Almond flour tends to clump together. To avoid this, ensure that you mix it thoroughly, breaking up any clumps for a smoother dough.

Measure accurately: Baking is a science, and accurate measurements are crucial for the perfect buns. Use kitchen scales for precision.

Rest the dough: Allowing the dough to rest for a few minutes after mixing can improve the texture of your buns. This gives the flour time to absorb the wet ingredients.

Check for doneness: Because low carb buns don’t brown as much as regular flour buns, it can be harder to tell when they’re done. Try inserting a toothpick or skewer into the middle of a bun. If it comes out clean, your buns are ready.

Remember, every oven is different, so cooking times may vary. You may need to experiment with a few batches to get the perfect keto buns for your taste buds. Happy baking! This is one of our favorite low carb bread recipes.

What seasoning can I add to keto hamburger buns?

A simple yet delightful way to enhance the flavor of your keto hamburger buns is by adding some seasoning. Sesame seeds are a classic choice; they not only give a delightful crunchy texture but also provide a nutty flavor that complements the almond flour perfectly. Sprinkle them atop your buns before they go into the oven, so they bake onto the surface.

Another excellent option is bagel seasoning. This flavorful mix often includes poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic and onion, and sea salt. Sprinkling this onto your keto buns before baking infuses them with a rich, savory taste reminiscent of traditional bagels. Experiment with these toppings to discover your favorite combination. It’s easy to change the flavor of these keto buns.

How to store leftover burger buns

Storing leftover buns is simple and straightforward. Once your hamburger buns have completely cooled, place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week.

If you’d like to store low carb hamburger buns for longer, you can also freeze them. Just wrap each bun individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To use, thaw them at room temperature or gently warm them in the oven or toaster.

Best spreads for keto burger buns

When it comes to enhancing the taste of your keto burger bun, spreads can play a pivotal role. In addition to ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce, here are three delicious options:

Mayonnaise: This creamy spread is a classic choice for buns. Whether you opt for store-bought or homemade, mayonnaise adds a tangy richness that complements the flavors of your burger or sandwich ingredients. Moreover, being high in fats and low in carbs, mayonnaise is keto-friendly.

Cream Cheese: Another fantastic spread for your keto burger buns is cream cheese. The smooth, creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor of cream cheese pairs beautifully with the nutty flavor of low carb hamburger buns. You can even mix in some herbs or spices to your cream cheese for an added flavor boost.

Olive Oil Spread: For a lighter yet flavorful spread, consider an olive oil spread. Simply combine extra virgin olive oil with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, crushed garlic, and a pinch of salt. This aromatic, healthy spread adds a touch of Mediterranean flavor to your low carb buns.

Ingredients for almond flour buns

You only need a few simple ingredients for these keto buns.

1 cup almond flour (we used unblanched but you can use either)
1/3 cup flax meal
1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free products)
1 cup of boiling water

Burger bun instructions:

1. Prepare oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flax meal, psyllium husk powder, salt, and baking powder until smooth. These dry ingredients will form the basis for the flawless texture of your hamburger buns.

2.Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the melted butter (or coconut oil).

3.Pour in the hot water in batches. you may need a little less or a little more water. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes a dough. This is when the psyllium husk powder does its magic, binding the ingredients together and giving the dough elasticity.

4. Let the dough rest: Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the psyllium husk will continue to absorb moisture, which will cause the dough to be easier to work with.

You can sprinkle with sesame seeds at the next step.

5. Form the rolls: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Gently roll each portion between the palms of your hands to form a ball, then shape each ball into a disk about ½ inch thick.

Sprinkle the tops of the hamburger buns with sesame seeds, pressing them lightly so they stick to the dough. This will not only add visual appeal, but will also give a delightful crunch with each bite. Place the keto buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
