Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, then add the coconut aminos, coconut sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, onion powder, and sesame oil. Stir well and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the coconut milk and olive oil, and mix until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a flat disk and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Make a small indentation in the center of each disk and fill it with a tablespoon of the beef mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the buns are golden and cooked through.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 Beef Floss Buns!
