Here’s a recipe for Keto Fluffy Skillet Buns that are soft, delicious, and perfect for your low-carb meals! These buns are great for sandwiches, burgers, or just as a side to any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder (optional for extra flavor)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for a fluffier texture)
- Sesame seeds or flax seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat or preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer baking them. If you’re using the skillet method, ensure it’s oven-safe for later.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, sweetener, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. If you’re using mozzarella cheese, stir it into the wet ingredients to make the dough extra soft.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well until everything is combined into a dough-like texture. It should be thick but manageable. If the dough is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk, a teaspoon at a time.
- Form the Buns: Scoop out portions of the dough (about 1/4 cup each) and shape them into round buns. You can place them directly into the skillet if you’re cooking them on the stove or place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet if you’re baking them in the oven.
- Cook in Skillet (Stovetop method): If you’re using the skillet, place the buns in the preheated skillet, leaving a little space between each one. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want them golden brown on both sides and cooked through in the center.
- Bake in Oven (Oven method): If you’re baking, place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Optional Topping: After cooking, you can sprinkle sesame seeds or flax seeds on top of the buns while they’re still warm for a classic bun look and added texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the buns to cool slightly before slicing. You can enjoy them with butter, as a burger bun, or with your favorite keto-friendly spread.
Tips:
- Add Cheese for Extra Fluff: Mozzarella cheese adds extra fluff and helps bind the dough, giving the buns a softer texture.
- Flavor Options: You can experiment with adding different herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or even a little onion powder to the dough for more flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftover buns in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage!
These Keto Fluffy Skillet Buns are a fantastic, low-carb bread substitute for anyone following a keto diet. Enjoy!
