Fluffy Keto Buns

These soft and pillowy Keto buns taste similar to whole wheat bread but with a fraction of the carbs! They are easy to make and work with both sweet and savoury toppings. The recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free.

Ingredients

  • 3 egg whites, medium room temperature
  • 1 egg, medium room temperature
  • ¼ cup / 60 ml hot water
  • ¼ cup / 25g almond flour
  • ¼ cup / 30g coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder or 2 tablespoon whole psyllium husks
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • sesame seeds, for sprinkling optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 356 Fahrenheit.
  • Mix the dry ingredients. Then put all ingredients into a food processor or mix with an electric blender until smooth, about 20 seconds. Don't over-mix the dough. 
  • Let the dough sit for a couple of minutes so the flours can absorb the moisture.  
  • Separate the dough into 4 equal portions and form buns. (Wet hands before handling the dough. This way it's less sticky.)
  • Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or seeds of choice. Make a criss-cross cut on the top and bake for around 25 minutes or until browned.

Notes

3.3g net carbs per bun.
It's always best to measure ingredients with a food scale.
I used medium eggs. For large eggs, increase the amount of almond flour by around 2 tablespoons (I have tested this).
If the batter is too liquid, add more almond and coconut flour until it is firm enough to roll into buns.  
If the buns are browned before the 25 minutes are up, cover them with aluminium foil to prevent them from burning.
If you want to double the recipe the oven time will increase (probably by around 5-10 minutes).
