Only 4 ingredients. Nut free, quick to prepare and bake, less than 1g net carbs per 2 bun halves. Oh and yeah these taste amazing.
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
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.
- Mix ingredients 20 sec/speed 4.
- 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.

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.

Wow these buns are delicious and easy to make . I had all the ingredients on hand and we had delicious burgers in 10 minutes . Hubby went back for seconds and totally loved them. I am thinking a bacon and egg Mad Creations muffin with ranch dressing will be a quick and easy breakfast any day of the week with these buns or a hamburger for lunch or dinner .
Such a simple tasty meal. Thanks for such an awesome recipe !!!
I love these. Great for a bacon and egg muffin. Can pre make for work and heats up great. First time around I didn’t read the full recipe and cooked them in a pan a bit like a pancake and they turned out great that way as well.
