Soft, delicious, and naturally high-protein, these egg-free keto cottage cheese buns are the perfect low-carb bread alternative for sandwiches, burgers, and meal prep! Made with simple ingredients like cottage cheese, whey protein, and almond flour.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a blender, blend the cottage cheese until silky smooth.
    1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein powder, golden flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
    3/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup whey protein powder, 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Stir in the blended cottage cheese, apple cider vinegar, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time. If it’s too soft, sprinkle in a little almond flour.
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons butter
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a bun.
  • Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Let cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

  • Texture Tip: Use fine almond flour and a quality whey protein isolate for the best airy texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individually wrapped buns.
  • Ingredient Swap: You can substitute golden flaxseed meal with psyllium husk powder, but the texture will be a little denser.
