Almond Flour Buns



3/4 cup Almond Flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
5 tablespoons Butter
2 Eggs

Mix dry ingredients. Mix Eggs and melted Butter in a separate bowl then combine with dry ingredients.
Bake in Muffin Top Pan at 350° for about 12 minutes until golden brown.

I'm using a muffin top pan with 6 4" muffin top depressions. I'm pouring 1/8 cup of batter per bun.

Yields 8 single buns--4 bun pairs
One pair of buns has 280.5 calories and 2.25 net carbs (4.5 total carbs 2.25 are dietary fiber)


Made these on 8/22/14. They were more bread like than oopsie bread. They were a little gritty--not as much as cornbread. In fact they would be a good replacement for corn bread. Overall they were very good as buns for hamburgers. They were a bit on the salty side so next time I'm going to cut the salt back to 1/4 teaspoon and the butter back to 4 tablespoons and see how they come out.
