Keto Fluffy Skillet Buns

By deiv3 on September 11, 2024

Ingredients:

1½ cups almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for fluffier texture)
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for extra fluffiness)
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for brushing)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (helps with fluffiness)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and salt.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.
If you're adding shredded mozzarella for extra richness, melt the cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds and stir it into the wet mixture.

4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be thick but still slightly sticky.

5. Shape the Buns:

Grease a cast-iron skillet or any oven-safe skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls in the skillet, leaving a little space between each bun as they will expand.

6. Bake the Buns:

Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Serve:

Once baked, brush the buns with more melted butter for extra flavor.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Tips:

You can add herbs like garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme to the dough for extra flavor.
These buns freeze well. Simply let them cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap, and store in an airtight container in the freezer.
For a dairy-free version, replace the sour cream with coconut cream and skip the mozzarella cheese.
