Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 5 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there's no clumping.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and apple cider vinegar until the mixture is smooth and slightly foamy.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated; the result will be a dense dough.
Pour the boiling water over the dough and mix quickly. The dough will steam and thicken as the psyllium husk absorbs the water.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a bun. Place the buns onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops of the buns with sesame seeds, pressing them lightly so they adhere to the surface of the buns.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. The buns should rise and develop a slightly browned crust.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. This will help maintain their soft texture.
Serve the buns warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
