Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 teaspoons Sea salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (melted, optional for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the apple cider vinegar and mix well.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The mixture will start to thicken.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring continuously. The heat will activate the psyllium husk, creating a pliable dough consistency.
Let the dough rest for 2-3 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the buns.
Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the buns are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
