Quick Low Carb Buns-
Easy to make, grain free, quick low carb buns that are also keto, gluten-free and paleo.
Quick Low Carb Buns are a fast and easy way to make burger buns, sandwich buns, or toast. The recipe is for one, but can be doubled for 2 buns, or quadrupled for 4 buns in a large mixing bowl and poured into 2 to 4 ramekins (small bowls). I like to make these for burgers, sandwiches, and even grilled cheese.
These quick low carb buns are sturdy enough for even a big thick burger and can be toasted in a toaster, or broiled in the boiler. Extremely low in net carbs and high in fiber.
Perfect for making mini personal pizzas, and even the ever-popular avocado toast!

Hi! Just wondering if you think that Almond milk would work with this recipe in place of the coconut milk?
Stacey
Yes, Gary, almond milk works.
Kay-M
I make 6x the recipe, and bake them in my muffin-top pan - works great!!!
Stacey
Thank you, Kay, for trying the recipe and sharing your muffin top pan tip. I need to get that pan!
Jean
To just tried this and it was very good. I couldn’t find the measuring spoons so I just guessed. They came out fine . So easy and quick.
Stacey
Thank you, Jean, you're one of those people that are very good at just eyeballing the measurements.
Amina Davison
This was great! Quick and easy and works perfectly with a burger. Thank you!
Stacey
Thank you, Amina, so much for trying it.
Shannon
This bread is awesome, not eggy at at. I made it into a hot dog buns by using a mini loaf pan and it's the best I've tried and I've tried many. Pretty sure this is"the one" thanks so much!!!!
Stacey
Thank you so much, Shannon, for trying the recipe and sharing your ideas 🙂
Carla Canipe
I made these today. Even though I used my knife to scrape around the sides, they stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Did I do something wrong? Looking forward to having burgers tonight, but the one may be open faced 🙂
Stacey
Hi Carla, Sometimes if I wait until they are cooled off and then slide knife around and gently under it and lift slightly then it does not stick. They stick more when warm (not sure why that is).
Carla Canipe
Thanks for your suggestion. I am making these buns for Low Carb Chicken Parmasean sandwiches tonight.
Stacey
Your welcome Carla. That sounds so good!
catherine nicholl
I just had one of these buns for my lunch. I put turkey,lettuce & cheese. It was very good. I will make them again.
Stacey
Thank you for trying the recipe, Catherine 🙂
Amy
These look great and I want to make some right now! I have everything in my cupboard except the flax meal. Would they be okay without it or is there something I can substitute?
Stacey
Amy, You could replace the flax meal with 2 tbsp almond flour if desired.
Darryl

These are so easy to make and so practical for everyday use ! Thanks for sharing !
Stacey
Thank you ChihYu 🙂
Allyson
Awesome recipe...loved them! Should these be refrigerated if not eaten right away or making big batches?
Stacey
Yes Allyson, all the grain free breads should be stored in the fridge, as there are no preservatives to keep them from perishing.

I am totally going to try this, not only for the burgers we are going to have later this week but they also look like they'd be divine with an egg and some bacon (and sigh... cheese too, but alas I can't do that).
