Faux Bread Quest: Holy Grail! Almond Buns!!!
Update: This recipe is now on the Caveman Keto YouTube Channel. Check out how to make AlmondBuns!
I’ve done it. I’ve found the holy grail, the perfect bun. This has been a long journey. First we triedOopsies and we knew it was possible. We tried peanut butter bread and we were closer. The minutemuffin hinted that something better was possible. The flax bun was really close. I now present to you,the Almond Bun!
Here is the finished product in breakfast sandwich form. I took all of the feedback from the flax bun andmade some improvements in the recipe.

Mix all of the dry ingredients together.
Add the wet ingredients and whisk.
Distribute the batter equally into the muffin top pan. This pan is one of the secrets to making really goodbuns. It makes sure that the buns are all of a very even and flat so that it is easy to use for breakfastsandwiches, burgers, etc. If you just make 6 piles this size the edges will be weaker and the form of thebread will be closer to a cookie than a muffin and it will not hold. The dough for this recipe is more denseso it takes some effort to spread it evenly.
Here are the completed buns. You want to cook them until the edges just start turning brown. This willvary from oven to oven considering these are pretty flat. I would keep an eye on them the first time andthen remember the amount of time it takes.
Here is the final product again, this time served as an open sandwich.
Summary:
In the end, I think all of these different faux breads have different advantages and disadvantages. Theyare all useful to have in your cookbook. The Almond Buns are my favorite in terms of taste and texture. However, there are some advantages to the Flax Buns as well. First, Almond Meal is expensive, coming inat around $9.63 per pound compared to Flax Meal at $3.61 per pound. Also, the almond buns come in at373 calories and 4 net carbs per bun where the flax meal version was 251 calories and 1 net carb. Bothwould be really healthy if used as an open sandwich. Neither of these are too high for calorie intake ornet carbs but I tried to minimize the calories in the flax buns because my wife was trying to stay under400 calories for breakfast. Personally, I would use these buns as a treat, maybe for weekend breakfastsor to bring to a restaurant as a bun replacement when eating out with friends.

Bob’s Red Mill Almond FlourAlmond flour is the go to flour onketo. Its the base for stuff likealmond buns and I use it as a filleranytime I want a flour substitute. I’dcheck your local grocery store first,but if you can’t find it locally, buy itonline. By me, it varies between $8$12 per lb.
EZSweetzEZSweetz is liquid sucralose. In caseyou weren’t aware, powderedsplenda contains carbs as bindingagents to get it to look and act likesugar. If you’re making somethinglike a chocolate mousse or a LowCarb Cheesecake, this stuff is perfect.I’ve never seen it in a store before soI stock up on it online. You can getliquid stevia or truvia at somewherelike Whole Paycheck but I like thisstuff better.
