Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 tbsp ground psyllium husk (for texture)
- Sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground psyllium husk. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. It should be thick and slightly sticky. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Shape the buns: Divide the dough into 6-8 portions (depending on the desired size of your buns). Roll each portion into a log shape, about 5-6 inches long, resembling the size of a hot dog bun. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Optional toppings: Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of the buns for added texture and flavor, if desired.
- Bake: Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before slicing down the middle to create a pocket for your hot dog or favorite keto toppings. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly hot dog and enjoy!
Tips:
- Storage: Store leftover buns in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, simply toast or warm them in the oven.
- Fluffier buns: If you prefer a fluffier texture, you can increase the psyllium husk slightly, but be cautious as it can change the texture too much if used in excess.
- Customization: Feel free to add herbs or spices like Italian seasoning, chili flakes, or smoked paprika to give your buns a unique flavor twist.
These Keto Hot Dog Buns are the ideal way to enjoy a low-carb version of a classic favorite while keeping your meal keto-friendly and delicious!
