Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare silicone molds.
- Beat Egg Whites: In a clean mixing bowl, add egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the beaten egg whites, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
- Shape Buns: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or into molds, shaping into bun-sized rounds.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and set.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster for best results.
- Variations: For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with coconut flour, adjusting the quantity as coconut flour is more absorbent.
- Serving Suggestion: These buns pair well with beef, chicken, or veggie patties, making them versatile for any burger creation.
- Note: Nutritional values are approximate and may vary based on ingredient brands and measurements.
