Low Carb Hamburger Buns
Servings 4 Buns
Calories 398kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 2 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 1/4 Cup Almond Flour*
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Tablespoon NOW Powdered Psyllium Husk
- 1 Large Egg
- Sesame Seeds optional topping
Instructions
- Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together. I do this using a double boiler, you can also do this in the microwave.
- Stir and fold to combine these ingredients.
- In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, salt and psyllium husk.
- Add to the bowl of melted cheese, along with an egg.
- Fold everything together and combine as thoroughly as possible.
- Form your dough into a ball and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from fridge and form into four even buns.
- Place buns on the parchment paper and top with sesame seeds, gently pressing them in to adhere.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the outside is golden.
- Allow them to cool on the baking sheet before slicing, and enjoy!
Notes
*Using a fine grained almond flour will yield better results. I've had great results with both Bob's Red Mill and Trader Joes almond flour.
** Some psyllium husk powders can turn baked goods into a blue-ish purple color. I use NOW Foods psyllium husk powder, and haven't had this issue.
