Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Egg whites
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 teaspoons Vinegar
Instructions
Start by preparing a steamer. Fill the bottom section with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.
Separately, mix the egg whites, warm water, and vinegar until evenly blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Using lightly wet hands to prevent sticking, shape each portion into a smooth bun.
Cut small squares of parchment paper and place each bun on a separate square to prevent sticking in the steamer.
Arrange the buns in the steamer basket, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.
Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the buns for 30 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent steam pressure.
After 30 minutes, remove the buns from the steamer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low carb steamed buns as a healthy and delicious bread alternative!
