what do you need to make The Best Keto Buns
These super simple buns only need 4 ingredients.
Here is all you need! (Read on for some substitutes and some different ways to bake them).
Here is how to make them
These zero carb buns are super simple to make. You don’t need any fancy appliances and they take no time to whip up. You may know we have loads of keto bread recipes on here and low carb buns too but these are the best buns for 2 main reasons in my eyes.
- They are quick to make. I hate spending a lot of time in the kitchen so mixing 4 ingredients (plus seasoning) in a bowl popping into some egg rings and baking for 10-15 minutes makes these pretty amazeballs.
- Number 2 reason is a few actually. They taste great, hold together perfectly for a burger without crumbling or falling apart. Plus they aren’t heavy!
One thing I have learned to enjoy since starting a keto diet is that I really enjoy a burger sans bun. Buns even some low carb or keto bun recipes are still too heavy with a burger. These keto buns are the perfect way to still eat a burger in your hands and not get messy or bloated with too much “bun”.
Add cheese to bowl or mixer 
Salt
Add hemp seeds 
Add eggs and mix
More Baking tips
So first up lets look at different ways to cook these bad boys.
In keeping with my love of speedy recipes I pretty much making my keto buns in the Thermomix. I give them a quick mix and then into the rings and bake them in the oven but of course there is other ways.
Low Carb Buns baked in the Air Fryer
Can these buns be cooked in air fryer? Oh yes they can. From our testers using an air fryer and Ninja Foodie the best results were from using silicone egg rings (or tart moulds) for 10 min/190℃. Add extra time if needed.
Cooked in a Frying Pan
Fry in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
Bake in Pie Maker
Spoon a heaped tablespoon into the pie maker and cook until lightly golden.

The Best Keto Buns
I really had to share the best keto buns with you. My first bite in the burger I made and I knew they were a winner.
Calories: 96kcal
Add to Collections
Servings: 6 buns (2 buns per serve)
Tap or hover over number to scale ingredientsIngredients
- 40 g shredded mozzarella See Note 5
- 40 g parmesan grated
- 2 eggs lightly whisked
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds See note 4
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
CONVENTIONAL METHOD
- Preheat oven to 200℃. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Leaving enough room for mixture to spread; spoon 6 even rounds of mixture on the prepared baking tray (I like to use large silicone egg rings for a perfect round shape). Bake 15-20 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
THERMOMIX® METHOD
- Preheat oven to 200℃. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Notes
- I use large silicone egg rings for moulds. They stop any spread of the bun and make a perfect size for burgers or sandwiches. Alternatively use smaller egg rings or a large muffin tray for smaller buns.
- Buns can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen in an airtight ziplock bag.
- Add spices for added flavour.
- Hemp seeds can be substituted with sesame seeds but I really recommend using hemp seeds.
- Any cheese can be substituted. I like to use a triple mix of cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan pre-shredded from Woolworths.
- Buns can be cooked in the air fryer, pie maker or toaster.
- Nutritional is per bun. Two “buns” will be needs per burger. For 2 halves I calculated the nutritional as 192kCal, 1g net carbs, 15g protein and 14g Fat.

Can hemp hearts be substituted for the hemp seeds?
Hi Dana, they are one and the same. x
Labeling in the US may be a little different, but “Hemp Hearts” only refer to shelled hemp seeds here. I just tried a little nibble of them for two days before trying this recipe to see if I was allergic. Mine made in a silicone bun/muffin top pan (no rings) that came out a little too small/thick and thusly too eggy. They popped out well though. Will try again with larger diameter ramekins or maybe the pancake method mentioned earlier in this thread. Please note your US conversions are not really “US customary” as most less expensive ovens only do Fahrenheit in 25 degree increments and, unless the chemistry utterly fails or the packaging has cut marks, we do far less exact volume measurements of tablespoons and quarter cups rather than weights, thusly this recipe would call for 3 tablespoons of each cheese and an oven of 400 degrees F. With gas ovens, the heat comes from the bottom and the tops of these buns do not get toasty, possibly another reason more egg flavor was reading through. Thanks for a tasty inaugural use of hemp hearts for me!
Hi, can I replace hemp seeds with chia seeds?
Can I make this in waffle maker?
You sure can Rina.
Hi I’m a bit confused about calorie count at the end it says 2buns 96 cals but further up it mentions 2 half’s being 192 cals.could you please tell why I don’t want to make them if I’ve got it wrong..but soooo looking forward to a “real” hamburger…
I will have a look Margaret.
So good and so easy. Made them in the pancake press as when I ordered large egg rings I received normal sized ones. HOWEVER, the recipe only made 2, I made them again so I could have 4.
I wonder if using Parmesan shaved bits rather than grated made a difference in volume.
Anyway, they were yum and made holding the burger easy.
It will just be the size Jenny. I use egg rings for these buns
I don’t often comment but this deserves 5 stars! I so much wanted Reuben sandwich, not salad or casserole and it worked perfect even with those “sloppy” ingredients! I was going to go with tbls instead of weighing out the 40g and I’m so glad I didn’t as I do not think it would have been correct with the tbls. It was absolutely the best sub for bread that I’ve found. No, it doesn’t taste like real bread, but it does NOT fall apart even with a stuffed sandwich. Also, I didn’t have egg rings, so I made little pancakes in my non stick pan. Worked perfect, though I probably will just smooth them out and bake them like that next time. Thanks for a great recipe!
And I love seeing a recipe be enjoyed this much April. I am so happy you loved the buns. They are a favourite of mine but I dont think many people find the recipe 😂
Perfection!
Aren’t they
