Low carb, keto friendly buns for sandwiches and burgers, wheat flour free, gluten free and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / low carb
These low carb buns are soft, very tasty and smell like regular bread!
The secret of success for these buns is the grinding of flaxseed and psyllium husk in a coffee grinder.
These ingredients must be fine flour like, to have the best result.
The coffee grinder device is not expensive and helps a lot, since in addition to seeds and psyllium husk, I can also grind the sweetener into powder.
I usually prepare these buns on Saturday, to have perfect breakfast on Sunday morning.
With keto jam, butter or eggs they're delicious.
I Some times, use these buns to make burgers.
This recipe gives 8 buns for the whole week and this process is repeated every Saturday.
I love these buns!
