Keto Cheese Buns

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (preferably full-fat)
• 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
• 1 tbsp butter (melted)
• Salt to taste
• Optional: Herbs like oregano or thyme for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
2. Melt the Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and a pinch of salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: To the melted cheese mixture, add the eggs and melted butter. Mix everything together until smooth and combined.
5. Add Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated and you have a dough-like consistency. It may be slightly sticky, but that’s fine.
6. Shape the Buns: Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions, depending on the size you prefer for your buns. Roll them into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly to form a bun shape.
7. Bake: Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the buns cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• For an extra cheesy flavor, you can sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top of each bun before baking.
• These buns are perfect as a side for your favorite keto meals or even for a keto sandwich!
