Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 350 F / 175 C.
- Use a kitchen scale to measure all the ingredients carefully.
- Do not use whole psyllium husks - if you cannot find psyllium husk powder, use a blender or coffee grinder and process until fine.
- If you get already prepared psyllium husk powder, remember to weigh it before adding to the recipe.
- Mix all the dry ingredients apart from the sesame seeds in a bowl (almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed, psyllium powder, garlic and onion powder, Erythritol, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt).
- Add the egg whites and eggs and process well using a mixer until the dough is thick.
- Add boiling water and mix until well combined.
- Using a spoon, make the buns and place them on a non-stick baking tray or a parchment paper.
- Top each of the buns with sesame seeds (or any other seeds) and press them into the dough, so they don't fall out.
- Place in the oven and cook for 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let the tray cool down and place the buns on a rack to cool down to room temperature.
- Store them at room temperature if you plan to use them in the next couple of days or store in the freezer for future use.
- Top with butter or cream cheese, burger meat or any topping you like.
