Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese to the dry mixture and mix until the cheese is well coated with the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Make sure all components are thoroughly incorporated but do not overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion out the dough into 6 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun to allow for spreading.
Gently shape each mound into a bun shape with your hands if necessary and lightly press down to flatten the tops.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These buns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
