The Quickest Keto Sesame Buns

A simple, fast recipe for soft keto sesame buns you can make without yeast. Light texture and great for burgers or sandwiches.
Course: Main Course
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 5 buns
Calories: 354kcal

Ingredients

  • 114 grams coconut flour (1 cup)
  • 14 grams baking powder (1 TBS)
  • 3 grams salt (1/2 tsp)
  • 2 grams xanthan gum (1 tsp)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 180 milliliters olive oil or oil of choice (3/4 cup)
  • 2 TBS warm water
  • sesame seeds, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray 3–5 silicone burger molds—use 3 for thicker buns or 5 for thinner buns—or shape foil rings as molds.
  • In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum until there are no lumps.
  • Add the eggs and stir until the dry ingredients are moistened and begin to form a dough.
  • Pour in the oil and mix until combined. Add the warm water and stir for about 20 seconds until the dough is smooth and slightly moist.
  • Form the dough into a ball and gently massage it to check texture. It should be smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  • Divide the dough evenly among the prepared molds. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and flatten to fill the mold, smoothing the surface.
  • Whisk one egg with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash. Lightly brush the tops of the buns.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over each bun to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the molds for about 15 minutes. Transfer buns to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Slice each bun horizontally when ready to use. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Baked Burger Patties

An easy method to bake flavorful burger patties in the oven for consistent results and minimal mess.
Course: Main Course
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 6 1/4lb burgers

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • seasonings of choice (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)
  • cheese slices, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix the ground beef with your chosen seasonings until evenly combined.
  • Divide the meat into six 1/4‑lb portions. Shape each portion into a patty of your preferred thickness and size.
  • Place the patties on an oven fryer rack set over a baking sheet. If you don’t have an oven fryer rack, use a cooling rack on a baking sheet so fat can drip away.
  • Bake for 5–10 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Aim for an internal temperature between 155–165°F (68–74°C) for well-done.
  • Remove the patties from the oven, add a slice of cheese if desired, and let it melt before serving.
