For the Buns

• 3 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella cheese – See notes)
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1 3/4 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 large eggs

How to Make Easy Keto Buns

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2: Melt the Cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second spurts until the cheese is mostly melted. Remove and whisk together until combined and smooth. Let this mixture cool slightly before proceeding.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

Transfer the warm cheese mixture into a food processor. Add the dry ingredients along with the eggs. Pulse until you achieve a thick dough consistency.

Step 4: Shape the Dough

Lightly dust a kitchen surface with almond flour. Transfer the dough onto it. Using slightly wet hands, knead it several times until smooth. Divide it into 6 portions. Roll each portion into balls and place them on the lined tray. Press down on each ball to form thinner burger bun shapes. Brush the tops with remaining whisked egg before sprinkling sesame seeds on top.

Step 5: Bake

Bake the buns for 14-17 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing them in half and serving.

• Neglecting to measure ingredients accurately: Always measure almond flour and cheese precisely for consistency in your dough. A kitchen scale can help ensure accuracy.
• Skipping the resting time for dough: Allowing the dough to rest helps improve texture and makes it easier to shape the buns. Don’t rush this step!
• Not preheating the oven properly: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking. This helps achieve that perfect golden brown color.
• Overbaking the buns: Keep an eye on your buns while baking. They can go from golden to burnt quickly, so check them around the 14-minute mark.
