Recipe: Keto Yogurt Buns
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and plain Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. You may need to use a spatula to fully incorporate the ingredients.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then shape each portion into a round bun shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of each bun for added texture and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
