Are you missing bread and butter? Keto Mini Buns to the rescue!

I've recently had to delve into learning more about the keto diet. While I've been on a gluten-free diet for a long time, I'm able to eat oats, some other grains, and occasionally I use a gluten-free flour blend for baked goods.

But with the hubs on a low-carb ketogenic diet for health reasons, we've had to change our ways. Staying low-carb means cutting all grains from your diet.

And that means I have had to get creative about finding a way to keep his diet interesting.

These Low-Carb Keto Mini Buns have given him a way to enjoy simple everyday snacks like bread and cheese, a peanut butter sandwich or even bread with Blackberry Chia Seed Jam.

These Keto Mini Buns are nutrient-dense. They're hearty and filling so I make them small to keep their carb count low. I've made them in muffin tins, but my favourite way to bake them is in an 8-cavity mini loaf pan.  They slice beautifully, hold their shape, and provide a surface on which to spread cream cheese, peanut butter, almond butter, or sandwich spreads made with salmon or chicken.

For breakfast, we toast them and make avocado toast!

And for appy time, I slice them thinly and use them as crostini, like in this recipe for Cranberry Whipped Ricotta Crostini. Try them with with herb and garlic-flavoured cheese and or these Warm Rosemary Olives with Lemon for an appetizer.

Tips for making Low Carb Keto Mini Buns

• Using a food processor makes this recipe super fast and easy. Combine melted butter and eggs, then add salt, almond flour, sesame seeds and herbs. Blend until smooth, then spoon into muffin cups or mini loaf pans and bake. That's it!
• Change the flavour by leaving out the sesame seeds or adding different herbs or sprinkle the tops with finely grated parmesan cheese before baking.
• Watch carefully. If made in small loaf pans or muffin cups, these only take 10 - 12 minutes to bake.
• Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and allow them to finish cooling on a rack.
• This recipe makes 6 small buns. I often double the recipe and freeze half in an air-tight container.
