Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 cups Unflavored whey protein isolate
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg whites and apple cider vinegar until frothy.
Add the egg white mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Gradually pour in the boiling water while mixing with a spatula until you have a sticky dough.
Divide the dough into six equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the buns with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the buns are firm to the touch and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. These buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
