Low Carb Keto Hamburger Buns
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon erythritol optional, for a touch of sweetness

These gluten free buns are made with a fathead-style dough, which means they’re not only low carb but also chewy, flavorful, and perfect for burgers. This recipe keeps carbs in check while still delivering a soft texture that holds together well with fillings.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Grease four or six ramekins (depending on desired size) and spray with olive oil.
- Mix your dry ingredients together: almond flour, baking powder, erythritol, and yeast. Set aside.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients into the melted cheese mixture and stir well.
- Add in the beaten eggs and continue mixing. It may be easier to use your hands to form the dough completely.
- Divide the dough into your greased ramekins and press gently to shape.
- Sprinkle the tops with Everything But The Bagel Seasoning.
- Bake for 15 minutes if making four large buns. If you stretch the dough into six smaller buns, reduce the bake time slightly and watch until golden brown on top.
