Keto Buns

Keto Buns

These easy to make buns are gluten free and keto friendly and are a fantastic option when you are missing bread.

Alternate Flour

In this recipe we are using almond flour, which is ground up blanched almonds. Gluten free it is very different than white flour so we need to add something to bind the ingredients together.

Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium husk powder is used to act like gluten in this recipe. It acts like a bit of a binder as it becomes a gel once liquid is added. It helps give the buns a bread like texture.

The texture of the dough is a bit gluey, it reminds me of the texture of cream of wheat. It helps to have wet fingers when handling the dough. I portion out the buns to be about the size of a mandarin orange.

The yeast in  this recipe is completely optional. I only add it to give the buns a bit of a yeasty hint, something I love about bread.

I love the addition of toppings like seeds and nuts, use whatever you enjoy, or leave them plain.

Bake on a parchment lined baking sheet.

  7. Sprinkle with whatever seeds you enjoy.
  8. Bake on lower rack in oven for 50–60 minutes.

These buns will crisp up but they are quite delicate so handle gently. Do allow them to cool fully on the baking sheet.
