These easy 6-ingredient keto buns are soft, airy, and lightly crunchy on the outside — and the best part?

One of the first things people say when I mention going Keto or Low-Carb is: "I could never give up bread!" But here’s the truth — you don’t have to. 🙌

Now, I won’t claim these mimic the exact chew and crust of a traditional sourdough (if I ever crack that code, you’ll be the first to know! 😉), but with the right balance of grain-free ingredients, you can absolutely enjoy flavorful, satisfying buns that hit the spot.

I originally shared this recipe in 2017, and I still make it regularly — it’s that good. Over time, I’ve fine-tuned the method and added helpful tips to answer all your questions.

Here's why these are one of my most popular keto buns:

🌟 Why You'll Love These Buns

• Incredible Flavor & TextureLight and fluffy on the inside with a delicate crunch on the crust — they taste surprisingly close to whole wheat rolls, without any of the carbs. Thanks to some smart tweaks (like using only one egg yolk and adding flaxseed), there's zero eggy flavor.

  
  

• Quick & Easy to MakeOne bowl. Six ingredients. Five minutes of prep. Freshly baked keto buns in just 30 minutes — no fuss, no mess.

  
  

• Keto, Gluten-Free & Dairy-FreeNaturally gluten- and dairy-free with only 3.3g net carbs per bun, making them perfect for keto or low-carb lifestyles.

  
  

• Filling & SatisfyingThough smaller than regular bread rolls, these keto buns are dense and nourishing, keeping you full longer than traditional bread.

  
  

• Super VersatileEnjoy them sweet or savory — from Sunday brunch to a quick weekday sandwich, or even as low-carb burger buns. They’re a hit with soups, salads, or toasted with butter and jam.

So if you're living that low-carb life (or just want a healthier bread option), give these buns a try. Your taste buds — and your macros — will thank you! 🎉🥜

Keto Buns

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 25-30 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 egg whites

• 1 egg, large room temperature

• 1/4 cup hot water

• 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons almond flour

• 1/4 cup coconut flour

• 1 Tablespoon flax seed or psyllium husk powder

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• pinch of sea salt

• sesame seeds, for sprinkling optional

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Then add everything to a food processor (or use an electric mixer) and blend until smooth — about 20 seconds. Be careful not to over mix the dough.

Let the dough rest for a couple of minutes to allow the flours to absorb the moisture.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape into buns. (Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking.)

Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or your favorite toppings.

Score the tops with a shallow criss-cross cut and bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes:

🥄 Dough too runny?

Add a bit more almond flour and coconut flour until the mixture is firm enough to shape into buns. 💪🥥🌰

🔥 Buns browning too fast?

If they’re getting golden before the 25 minutes are up, loosely cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning. ⏳🛡️

📏 Doubling the recipe?

The baking time will likely increase by about 5–10 minutes, so keep an eye on those buns! 👀⏲️

🧂 Topping Ideas

Swap sesame seeds for poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, or black sesame — or go bold with Everything Bagel seasoning for extra flavor!

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Breakfast: Toast and spread with butter or sugar-free jam

• Lunch: Sandwich with ham, cheese, lettuce, tuna, chicken, or egg salad

• Dinner: Serve with soups, stews, salads or as a bun for keto burgers

  
  

🧊 Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. They toast beautifully — just slice and pop straight into the toaster from frozen!
