    How to Make Keto-Friendly Burger Buns

    1. Preheat Oven and Grease Pans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease four 4-inch ramekins or round cake pans.

    2. Blend Wet Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, avocado oil, and water. Blend until smooth.

    3. Add Dry Ingredients

    Add the whey protein powder, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the blender. Blend until well combined.

    4. Prepare Batter

    Divide the batter evenly among the greased ramekins. Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, pressing them lightly to adhere.

    5. Bake Buns

    Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes. The buns are done when the tops are cracked and the edges are light golden brown.

    6. Cool Buns

    Let the buns cool in their ramekins for at least 15 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each ramekin to loosen the buns, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Ingredient Quality

    Opt for finely ground, blanched almond flour for a smooth texture, and ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.

    Moisture Balance

    Use room temperature eggs for better emulsification with fats, and adjust the dough with water or almond milk if too dry.

    Oven Temperature Accuracy

    Use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature for sensitive keto buns.

    Cooling

    Let the buns cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to allow them to set properly.

    Mixing Technique

    Mix just until the ingredients are combined and use the paddle attachment on a stand mixer to avoid overmixing.
