What makes our keto buns so good? We use yeast! Yeast not only provides rise but that delicious aroma that attracts us to bread in the first place.

This recipe’s second most important part is the muffin top pan in which the buns are baked. Without the guiding edges of the pan, your buns will end up wide and flat.

The important ingredient is inulin. Without it to feed the yeast, your buns will be flat.

This recipe makes 4 keto burger buns. One serving is one hamburger bun.

The ingredients for our low-carb hamburger buns is the same as for our Keto Bread recipe but in different quantities to allow for the different thickness of the buns.

  2. In a mixing bowl, add the almond flour, psyllium powder, baking powder, and xanthan gum and mix well.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, along with the butter and eggs. Mix well.
  4. Grease a muffin top pan with olive oil spray.
  5. Evenly spoon the mixture between 4 holes, smooth it out, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  6. Leave to proof in a warm place for 15 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 170C/340F.
  8. Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and spring back when touched.
  9. Leave to cool on a wire rack before enjoying.

These keto burger buns are easy to make. I like to toast them before loading my hamburger onto them, especially if I’ve kept them in the fridge or freezer. Toasting gives them a nice crunch and texture.
