Keto Hamburger Buns

Who says that you can't have your cake and eat it too.  Now you can have hamburgers without the guilt.

Ingredients (makes 10 buns):

Dry ingredients:

1 ½ cup almond flour
⅔ cup psyllium husks
½ cup coconut flour
½ cup flaxmeal
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
5 tbsp sesame seeds

Wet ingredients:

6 large egg whites
2 large eggs
2 cups boiling water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Do not use whole psyllium husks - if you cannot find psyllium husk powder, use a blender or coffee grinder and process until fine.

Mix all the dry ingredients apart from the sesame seeds in a bowl (almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, psyllium powder, garlic and onion powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt).

Add the egg whites and eggs and process well using a mixer until the dough is thick. Add boiling water and mix until well combined.

The reason you shouldn't use only whole eggs is that the buns wouldn't rise with so many egg yolks in. 

Using a spoon, make the buns and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. They will grow in size, so make sure to leave some space between them. 6 Buns per cookie sheet.

Top each of the buns with sesame seeds (or any other seeds) and press them into the dough, so they don't fall out. Place in the oven and cook for 45-50 minutes.

Remove from the oven, let the tray cool down and place the buns on a rack to cool down to room temperature. Store them at room temperature if you plan to use them in the next couple of days or store in the freezer for future use.

Top with butter or cream cheese, burger meat or any topping you like. Enjoy!

Tips:
If making a loaf instead of buns, bake for 75 minutes! Do not use a silicon loaf pan - use a metallic one instead.

Psyllium absorbs lots of water.  When baking with psyllium, you must remember to drink enough water throughout the day to prevent constipation!

Do not leave the batter outside the oven for too long. Place in the oven as soon as you form the buns.

If the buns change color to slight purple, it's due to the psyllium husk powder. Although they may not look appetising, they are perfectly fine.
