The best Paleo Hamburger Bun recipe. This recipe uses almond butter instead of flour to create a light bread like texture. It’s truly unbelievable how good these are! Make a huge batch and freeze them for those weekend BBQ’s.

Paleo Sandwich Buns

You know that gorgeous bun on the front cover of my new cookbook, Ditch the Wheat!  People have been drooling over it for awhile.  The Paleo Hamburger Bun recipe is a ridiculously easy recipe to make.  You just mix the ingredients together and then pour it into the molds and bake!  I’m going to share it with you today!!!  This is an exclusive sneak peek recipe from my new cookbook.

The cookbook is being sold at Costco stores across North America!  Drop by, pick up your copy and tag me in the photo.  I would love to share it on Instagram.

Almond butter gives this grain-free Paleo sandwich bun recipe a slight nutty taste, but it’s also the reason for the lightness of the buns. The texture is very bread like.  Note that these buns require a mold.  You can use mason jar rings for slightly smaller buns or English muffin molds for larger buns.

Paleo Hamburger Bun Recipe

Paleo Hamburger Bun Ingredients

3 large eggs

1⁄2 cup unsweetened almond butter (you can use cashew butter too)

1⁄4 cup tapioca flour

1⁄4 cup arrowroot flour

1⁄4 cup extra virgin coconut oil

1 tablespoon raw honey

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda

1⁄8 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 large egg white

1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

How to Make Paleo Hamburger Buns

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.  Place 6 wide-mouth mason jar rings or 4 English muffin rings on the baking sheet.
  2. Using a
    stand mixer, mix together all the ingredients except the egg white and sesame seeds.
  3. Pour the batter into the 6 mason jar rings, filled to just below the rim, or fill 4 English muffin rings halfway.  Brush the egg white over the tops of the buns and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a bun comes out dry.
  5. Allow the buns to cool, then remove them from the molds.  Cut off any excess dough that spilled over the molds during baking.
  6. Store the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I use almond flour instead?

I only tested this recipe with almond butter, and I do not recommend you use almond meal instead. I purposely used almond butter because it creates an extremely light and bread like texture.

Can I make this recipe egg-free?

I tested this recipe with eggs, but you could try using these egg replacement ideas to replace the eggs. You can try replacing the eggs with a “chia egg,” bananas, applesauce, or whatever you usually use in place of eggs. Beware the buns will be denser if you use an egg replacement. If you use a banana or apple sauce the taste of the bun will not savory.

Egg replacement options:

  • chia egg: 1 tbsp of chia seeds + 2.5 tbsp of water = 1 large egg.
  • 1/4 cup ripe mashed banana replaces one large egg
  • 1/4 cup of applesauce replaces one large egg

More Praise for the Ditch the Wheat cookbook!

@paleokitchenbabe on Instagram says, “Speechless.  This morning I made egg sandwiches with @ditchthewheat‘s everything bagels.  And they are everything!  So so good.  If you are thinking about buying her cookbook- absolutely do it!”

Ditch the Wheat Cookbook

@paleokitchenbabe is ambitious!  She loves to cook & bake from the cookbook.  I’ve really been enjoying seeing all of her creations.  She shared a picture of the cinnamon buns from the cookbook.  This recipe is a little harder to make because you have to work with frozen dough (I know it sounds weird but it works.  Trust me!).

Ditch the Wheat Cookbook

I shared a picture of the pizza crust from the cookbook (p.g. 256).  It’s a nut-free pizza crust and it’s really delicious!!!  You’ll love it.

People are really loving the bagel recipe!!!  I keep getting tagged on Instagram from people that are soooo happy they can enjoy a good bagel again.  @scyllashiva says Well I’ll be damned!!!  These are incredible #bagels !!! @ditchthewheat THANK YOU!!!  My kids are psyched!  These bagels are very easy to make.  You just mix together the ingredients and pour into a donut mold.  The bagels don’t taste like normal “Paleo” bagels.  They are chewy like a regular bagel.  They have a really great texture and likeness.  Enjoy!
