Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 cup Shredded zucchini
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the buns don't become soggy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the shredded zucchini and shredded cheddar cheese (if using) to the eggs, and mix until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough-like consistency forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a bun. Place the buns onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the keto vegetable buns as a side dish, sandwich base, or on their own. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
