These buns are a great snack option for those looking to increase their protein intake or to enjoy a tasty treat without overindulging. They are also a good option for those following a gluten-free or low-carb diet.
Almond flour is a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making it a nutritious alternative to traditional wheat flour. Eggs are a great source of protein and contain many essential vitamins and minerals.
Mozzarella cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, and the seasonings in this recipe add flavor and additional health benefits.
You will need:
2 cups almond flour
2 eggs
1 cup mozzarella cheese
½ tsp salt
½ ground pepper
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Yields: 20 buns
To make the buns:
Preheat oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a big bowl beat eggs. Add baking powder, salt, garlic powder and ground pepper.
Add almond flour and stir to form a dough.
Add mozzarella cheese and stir to combine.
Roll the dough into 20 balls and place them with some space in between in the prepared baking tray.
Bake them for 15-20 minutes or until golden-brown. You’ll notice they’re ready when the cheese is gratin on the top of the buns.
Let them cool before transferring as they are fragile when warm.
TIPS
Place a chunk of mozzarella cheese in the middle of the buns instead of all over the dough.
Add other seasonings like onion powder or dried parsley.
Keep leftovers in an airtight container, but it’s important to know that as they are made of almond flour they will get harder after the first 24hs.
Overall, these Nutritious Cheese Buns are a delicious and healthy option for those looking to enjoy a satisfying snack. With their tasty flavors and nutritious ingredients, they are sure to become a regular part of your snack rotation.
