Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 cups Grated zucchini
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they form a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, almond flour, coconut flour, grated zucchini, eggs, olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each into a bun shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each bun for an added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
