Common Questions About Nut-Free Keto Buns
Yes! Substitute mozzarella with dairy-free shredded cheese and parmesan with nutritional yeast for a similar flavour. These Paleo Burger Buns might be a good alternative as well if you need a bun that is dairy free.
Sesame seeds or ground flax meal word work well as a nut-free replacement.
Yes! Try cheddar for a sharper taste or Colby Jack for a milder flavor.

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 two “buns” as they really are a half a bun.

Can these be made using cheese I have grated myself, I can’t eat pre shredded cheese ๐ TIA
Wow, these keto buns are incredible, not only easy to make but beyond delicious, they are just so yummy, thank you for these fantastic buns.
Very nice but a bit bland on their own. Granted, that’s not what they’re designed for but I added a half teaspoon of mixed herbs and it made a lovely snack ๐
My partner on keto loved this. I cooked them in ramekins for shape. Was worried about sticking, but the fat in the cheese did its work. I swapped chia seeds in for hemp cause it’s what I already had. Worked well. Will make again!Absolutely love these, so quick and easy. As I’m not a big egg eater I don’t have egg rings. Decided to try my pancake maker. They came out perfectly. Will make these again and again. Perfect for lunch with some avocado. yummmmy
