Low Carb Keto Burger Buns — Made with Flour and Dough Baking Mixes

Low Carb Keto Burger Buns — Made with Flour and Dough Baking Mixes

Sometimes you just need a change. A change from the regular slice of bread — and even though these taste the same, something about the fact that they look different makes all the difference. A bun just hits differently.

The good news is that making these keto burger buns is dead easy. A handful of quick steps and you'll have beautiful, golden buns ready to go. They hold together perfectly when adding a burger patty, pair beautifully with your favourite toppings, and are absolutely incredible when grilled with cheese on top. This is one of those ideas you just have to try — and it will not fail you.

Which Mix to Use

I've used all 3 keto baking mixes from the Flour and Dough range to make these buns and they all work perfectly. It really comes down to what you're after:

• Original Nut Flour Baking Mix — neutral flavour, perfect for burger buns
• Rosemary Garlic and Thyme Baking Mix — incredible with cheese and savoury toppings
• Pumpkin and Cashew Baking Mix — slightly sweeter, great with smashed avo or eggs

This recipe makes approximately 6 buns at regular burger bun size.

What You'll Need

• 1 x Flour and Dough Keto Baking Mix of your choice
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, but recommended)
• Extra seeds for topping — sesame, poppy, sunflower, or a mix

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
2. Pour the baking mix into a bowl and add the chia seeds if using.
3. Mix the baking mix as per the instructions on the packet — paying attention to the egg whisking step, as the air you incorporate is what gives the buns their light, airy texture.
4. Roughly divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and quickly shape each one into an oval form. Place onto the lined baking sheet — they hold their shape well so don't overthink it.
5. Sprinkle extra seeds or flavourings over the top of each bun and cover loosely with tin foil.
6. Bake exactly as described on the packet instructions.
7. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks

• Add seeds to the top — not only does it look impressive, it adds an extra layer of nutrition and flavour. Sesame seeds are classic for burger buns; poppy seeds work beautifully too.
• Don't overhandle the dough — these buns don't rise like a traditional yeast bun. The air from whisking your eggs is what gives them their texture, so shape them quickly and leave them alone.
• Need a little extra lift? Add an extra egg to the mix.
• Grill them — slice in half and pop under the grill with cheese for a few minutes. Absolutely next level.
• Chia seeds add a lovely texture and bind the bun slightly better — worth adding if you have them.

Serving Ideas

• Classic beef burger with all the toppings
• Pulled pork or chicken burger
• Grilled cheese — slice, butter, and grill until golden
• Smashed avo and poached eggs for a weekend brunch
• Deli-style with your favourite cold cuts and mustard
