Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 pound Cooked pork shoulder, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of almond flour, 0.5 cup of coconut flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and combined.
Add 4 large eggs to the melted cheese and beat until well incorporated.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet cheese and egg mixture until a smooth dough forms. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shredded pork shoulder and cook until slightly crisped, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 0.5 cup of sugar-free BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground pepper to the pork. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disk roughly 4 inches in diameter.
Place about 2 tablespoons of BBQ pork filling in the center of each disk. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them to seal securely.
Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
