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!

4 April, 2018 at 3:19 pmThis 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!!!!

Carla Canipe says
15 February, 2018 at 12:01 pmI 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 says
17 February, 2018 at 9:01 amHi 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 says
21 February, 2018 at 7:49 amThanks for your suggestion. I am making these buns for Low Carb Chicken Parmasean sandwiches tonight.
Stacey says
22 February, 2018 at 7:56 amYour welcome Carla. That sounds so good!

Amy says
29 September, 2017 at 6:33 amThese 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 says
3 October, 2017 at 9:05 amAmy, You could replace the flax meal with 2 tbsp almond flour if desired.

Allyson says
27 August, 2017 at 4:03 pmAwesome recipe…loved them! Should these be refrigerated if not eaten right away or making big batches?
Stacey says
29 August, 2017 at 5:19 pmYes Allyson, all the grain free breads should be stored in the fridge, as there are no preservatives to keep them from perishing.

21 August, 2017 at 7:17 pmI 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).
Stacey says
