Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.5 cup water
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, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until frothy. Add the melted coconut oil and water to the eggs and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Using your hands, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bun.
Lightly press down each ball to flatten the tops slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the scrumptious Paleo Cheese Buns warm as a side or use them to make sandwiches. Enjoy!
