Ingredients

The correct ratio of ingredients is very important for this recipe, that's why we recommend using a kitchen scale and the oz/g measurements instead of cups.

Servings:

g defatted almond flour
g melted butter or coconut oil
ml unsweetened almond milk
g flaxseed meal
egg
tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
(optional) sesame or chia seeds

oz defatted almond flour
oz melted butter or coconut oil
fl oz unsweetened almond milk
oz flaxseed meal
egg
tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
(optional) sesame or chia seeds

tbsp defatted almond flour
tbsp melted butter
tbsp unsweetened almond milk
tbsp flaxseed meal
egg
tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
(optional) sesame or chia seeds

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.

Step 2

g defatted almond flour, g melted butter or coconut oil, ml unsweetened almond milk, g flaxseed meal

egg, tsp baking powder, pinch of salt

oz defatted almond flour, oz melted butter or coconut oil, fl oz unsweetened almond milk, oz flaxseed meal

egg, tsp baking powder, pinch of salt

tbsp defatted almond flour, tbsp melted butter, tbsp unsweetened almond milk, tbsp flaxseed meal

egg, tsp baking powder, pinch of salt

Add all of the ingredients (except for the sesame and chia seeds) into a bowl and knead with your hands until you get a smooth dough.

Be very careful when adding the wet ingredients, as too much liquid can quickly ruin the dough and make it super sticky.

To avoid this, add the liquid slowly and rather add a bit too little than too much – you can always add a little bit more if the dough is too dry.

If you’ve added the right amount of liquid, it should be left with a dough that’s easy to form and knead.

If it already happened and your dough is too sticky, try adding a little bit more almond flour or flaxseed meal.

Step 3

(optional) sesame or chia seeds

Form the dough to equal-sized balls and (optional) sprinkle a few chia or sesame seeds on top of them.

Step 4

Place the balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and press them down a little bit to get your typical “bun shape”.

Step 5

Bake the buns for about 15 minutes in your preheated oven.

Step 6

Enjoy your keto buns warm or cold.

Even though you can eat them warm as well, we recommend waiting until they have cooled down as that will make it a lot easier to sprerad something on them.

When they’re still warm, they tend to break apart a little bit and you won’t have that issue when they’re cold.
