Keto Burger Buns Thermomix Recipe

Love this recipe?

Skinnymixers


I wrote this recipe for Low Carb Burger Buns when I fell in love with the popular burger bar version and it has been loved amongst the gluten free and low carb Thermomix community ever since.

These make great savoury pancakes, burger buns or can even be a sweet option with your preferred sweetener added.

Try cutting them into small squares and baking in the oven for low carb croutons to pair with my Chicken Caesar Salad recipe which can be found in the original ‘The Healthy Mix I’ recipe book.

If you have a Pie Maker you can use it to make perfectly round burger buns, check out the tips on ‘The Skinnymixers Guide to Pie Makers’.

Ingredients

  • 230 g raw almonds - or almond meal
  • 60 g tapioca flour
  • 15 g psyllium husk
  • 270 g coconut cream - Ayam brand
  • 130 g water
  • 5 whole eggs
  • 5 g salt

Instructions

  • Add half the almonds to mixer bowl, mill for 20 sec/speed 9/MC on. Set aside. Repeat with remaining almonds and return all milled almonds to the mixer bowl.
  • Add the tapioca flour, psyllium husk and salt to mixer bowl, blend for 5 sec/speed 5/MC on.
  • Using a spatula, scrape the flour mixture from the sides and bottom of the bowl to loosen it.
  • Add coconut cream, eggs and water to mixer bowl and blend for 1 min/speed 5/MC on.
  • Let mixture sit in the mixer bowl for 10 mins while you pre heat a 12.5 cm pan (single egg pan) to low/medium heat.
  • Dry fry around 50 g or 1.8 oz of mixture per bun until slightly browned on each side.
  • When all of the buns are cooked, you can either use them straight away as a savoury pancake with breakfast.
  • Alternatively: refrigerate buns for 8 hrs in an airtight container, once cooled, to use as burger buns or as a sandwich alternative.
  • To reheat for burger buns: grill on the BBQ or in a pan until warm.

Notes

This recipe makes roughly 20 buns, at 4 g carbohydrates per bun.
Cooked fresh, they are like pancakes. Refrigerate them for 8 hours to dry out and firm up for buns.
You can sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on the uncooked side of the bun before flipping if desired.
This recipe was inspired by the Grill'd Low Carb Bun.

  1. 5 stars
    These are yum, but I’m not supposed to have almonds. Would substituting another nut like cashew, or sunflower seeds work?

  2. 5 stars
    Freezes beautifully, holds together well when used as a hamburger bun, and I love these just popped into the toaster – lovely nutty flavour. I love crumpets, but having toasted these beauties up, will happily forego the carbs and have these instead – these are so much better

  3. 5 stars
    I always make a double batch of these and keep them in the freezer. Easy, delicious and super versatile, these have been a game changer for me since reducing my carb intake. I prefer making mine with cream (not coconut cream). Spot on!!

    1. There is a coconut flour variation in the cookbook ‘The Healthy Mix II’ – this is the only variation that we have tested sorry.

      1. Thank you. My husband can’t have almond but we will definitely try the coconut flour version when my books arrive later this week

  4. Diet Doctor’s Oopsie bread is great. Less ingredients. Just cream cheese, eggs, salt and optional psyllium husk and baking powder.

  5. Just made these for a relative that is gluten free. They are tasty and easy to make(although they do take a little bit of time to cook). I will probably make these again for myself!!

  6. I have made these previously with linseed as I didn’t have psyllium but bought some this week and just made a batch. I had to add at least twice the amount of water to be able to spread them in the pan and they were thus a bit uneven and didn’t seem to cook as well. Has anyone else had this or did I do something wrong? PS We love them either made with sunflower seeds or Almonds.

  7. Love this recipe! So easy and tasty. I halved the recipe using 2 eggs and 5 grams psyllium husk and cooked them in egg rings on the stove. Came out perfectly! I want to try making with dairy cream next time as I find the coconut flavour to be quite strong.

  8. These turned out so well. I omitted the water and baked them in English muffin rings at 180C for about 15 mins. I ended up with 16 perfectly shaped burger buns and they taste fantastic. Thanks for the recipe!

  9. Did any one find these a bit too salty ?
    Or have I done something wrong here ! Lol
    I used pink Himalayan salt

    1. 5g is approz a teaspoon maybe your scales didnt register correctly? I use pink salt and dont find salty (and I’m one to skimp on salting)

      1. Yeah I think my scales must be out of whack. Made these again tonight and used a teaspoon and they turned out perfect and not too salty at all ! 🙂

  10. I just made up a mix of these unsure if its meant to be so thik but ill see how it turns out. Im excited to make my own burgers at home instead of having to go to grill’d when i want a burger

  11. Made these yesterday with your peri peri chicken so we could have home made Nandos. Let them sit in the fridge then I reheated/toasted in a dry pan and firm them up a little more. Served with the chicken, home made mayo and lettuce, better than the real thing! Can’t wait to try these other ways.

  12. What can you use instead of the tapioca flour? Apart from coconut flour I don’t use any grain based stuff. Or arrowroot. I do strict low carb.

    1. Why do people find recipes and then have complaints about the ingredients and ask for replacements? If you can’t have the suggested ingredients then find a different recipe! What’s worse is when they sub ingredients, then say stuff like “bad recipe, didn’t turn out when I swapped 5 of the ingredients..” This recipe AS IS, is simply great! 5 stars.

  13. Fantastic. Another great recipe. I had them with minestrone soup when they were fresh and they soaked up the soup! Yum! Can’t wait to try them for lunch tomorrow as either a sandwich or pizza.
    Thanks Nik x

    1. I’ve just replaced it with arrowroot 1:1 and while I don’t have anything to compare it with, they’ve worked beautifully. So delicious. Just hope i have enough for dinner! Can’t stop sampling them.

      1. Tapioca and arrowroot are the same thing. You really can’t substitute the tapioca/arrowroot and get a similar result. So people who carry on about the tapioca replacements need to FIND A DIFFERENT RECIPE! common sense is hard to find these days apparently.

  14. Just tried my first skinnies recipe 🙂
    Tried one with ice cream and maple syrup drizzled on top. Verdict. Delicious. I’ve got the rest of the batch in the fridge and will use for work during the week for various meals. I did find the mixture pretty sticky and found the best way to spread it onto the pan was with two spoons and then spread out.

  15. Made these today and used them as the outside for burgers. Loved them. All I heard from hubby was ‘om nom nom’ and the kids love the pamcakes as they called them. Lol

  16. Made these last night:

    Husband: These are f***ing amazing babe
    Me: Thanks, didn’t think you’d like them as you hate the Grill’d buns
    Husband: Yeh, but these just work

    From my POV they held together a lot better than the Grill’d buns, which go really soggy,
    So delicious and so easy to make.

  17. Thank you! These are Delish. Just made my first batch and cannot wait to have them toasted for breakfast tomorrow as I gave up bread about 6 weeks ago and really miss my toast!! And I miss burgers even more than toast!! Haha

  18. What a versatile recipe this is. I had a burger for tea last night using these badboys. Then this morning i had banana and honey on one for breaky. Holy moly it was good. I might try avo on one tomorrow. Such a good bread alternative as i avoid yeast!

  19. These are amazing! My toddlers love them to dip in maple syrup instead of traditional pancakes. I try to eat LCHF and love them as burger buns, pancakes and even pizza base! So versatile and delicious.

  20. I just made these!! I forgot to add the water though, so I got only 7 but they were so good anyway. I will add the water next time so the mixture goes further. Thanks for these!

    1. Ha…just reading comments as I’m cooking my batch & got to your message. Dang it…I’d forgotten the water too!

  21. Thank you for this recipe Nik! I think it could be a great gluten free substitute for injera too (Ethiopian bread).

  22. Ive been sending these with my hubby for his lunch with burger patties and he’s really loving them…being LCHF I generally just skip the bread…thought I would do an experiment and just had these with swiss cheese, ham and dijon in the sandwich press…OMG thank u so much NIK!!

  23. Thank you! Hubby misses bread so much. (LCHF). He is looking forward to having some toasted with his breakfast tomorrow. They will be a staple in our house!

  24. Hi Nik, I made these tonight with sunflower seeds and left the maple syrup out and they are great! Now I can send them to school as they are nut free. Thanks for another awesome recipe 🙂

  25. Thanks for the recipe!
    If I was to replace the eggs in the recipe
    would I substitute them for the purpose of binding, leavening or adding moisture?

  26. I do not have a thermomix but have a kenwood chef in which you can cook. How can I make this recipe in that as the times and temperatures that you have shown are for a particular kind of thermal mixer? Can I make this recipe without putting it into a thermal mixture? If so how? Awaiting for your reply eagerly. Thank you.

  27. I just love these. Made them again tonight with homemade coconut cream as I was out of tinned. I blitzed 300g desiccated coconut for 20 seconds on speed 9, then added 800g water and blended speed 9 for 1 minute. Strained through a nut milk bag. For the actual pancake/bun recipe, I used 400g of this cream instead of the 270g Ayam cream and 130g water, and upped the psyllium husk to 25g.

    1. Thanks for putting this info on here. I just put my son to bed and wanted to make these but realised I was out of canned coconut cream

  28. These are fantastic Nik! I made them because my white bread loving son needs an alternative. He would live on bread! Hopefully he likes these when he gets home from school. If not, more for me! Topping with avocado, ham and some chilli sauce for an easy healthy lunch x

  29. These are great. Thank you so much creating them. I’ve got a batch in the freezer & just popped 2 into the toaster to have with my scrambled eggs. Yum

  30. These are awesome! I toasted them and made a bacon and egg sandwhich for Sunday breaky! Hold together so well!

  31. Love this recipe. I have made them several times and used them as hamburger/steak sandwich buns as well as ‘toast’ for my scrambled eggs. They freeze and defrost well and toast nicely. The bonus is that they don’t fall apart when eating. They are also filling so don’t make them too big.

    1. Thank you you answered all my questions in your comment, I’m about to make these today and was wondering about them holding together and freezing.

  32. Another great recipe – I used them as wraps today and have the others cooling in the fridge 🙂 They were really yummy 🙂 Now to buy myself a smaller pan to make them like burgers!!!

  33. Really tasty and easy. Pretty much fail proof too, I used Brazil nuts instead of almonds and they worked perfectly. Just less time grinding.

  34. Thanks Nik. These were amazing and a massive hit with my 4 boys plus partner! We are the ones that had them with the Mexican pulled pork, caramelised onion and mozzarella cheese. So yummy! I like the idea of toasting them in the sandwich grilled to make them thinner. Could use them as a ‘pizza’ base then too. Next time I will make them a bit smaller so I can do the burger buns (which was my original intention but I just made them too big). 5 out of 5.

  35. These are fantastic ! My gut also approved !!!! Thanks so much for creating another great recipie. This ones a keeper !

  36. Great method for pancakes. Even though my family has not diet restrictions we love these. Very versatile for breakfast lunch or dinner. There in the frige now firming up for our burgers for dinner.

  37. These are awesome. I made them today and cooked them in the sandwich press and did them really thin so they turned out crisp and am using them as a healthy alternative to biscuits for homemade dip.
