Are you on a low-carb diet but still craving a delicious hamburger? Instead of settling for a basic patty wrapped in a salad leaf, why not try making these keto burger buns! These buns are made with mozzarella, almond meal, and egg, and come in at around 8 grams of net carbs per bun. Surprisingly fluffy and bread-like, this easy recipe is from The Frugal Keto Cookbook by Emily Pierce.
These keto buns can be used for so much more than just burgers. Whether you want a bacon and egg roll, a chicken sandwich for lunch, or a dinner roll with soup, these buns have got you covered. Just remember, they contain cheese, so they’re not paleo-friendly! Don’t forget to leave a comment and rating after trying out the recipe.
If you’re new to the Ketogenic diet, the best advice is to start by skipping the bun altogether when ordering a burger. However, if you find yourself missing buns after a while, this recipe will give you a delicious keto-friendly alternative that you can toast and enjoy.
Whether it’s the satisfaction of biting into bread or simply holding a burger again, these buns will make you feel like you’re not missing out on anything. Plus, making your own keto bread substitutions is not only tasty but also budget-friendly!
Ways To Use Keto Burger Buns
- Grill some simple beef hamburger patties with crispy bacon and melted cheese on top (or go dairy-free).
- Try lamb, olive, and feta burger patties for a unique twist.
- Enjoy a keto-friendly breakfast or brunch with a cream cheese, smoked salmon, and avocado bun roll.
- Make a low-carb chicken mayo sandwich for lunch.
- Indulge in a keto bacon & egg roll.
- Or savor a low-carb chili lime chicken burger (also featured in Emily’s cookbook).
