Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 each Egg wash (optional, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in the sugar-free BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder with the cooked pork. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring halfway through until smooth.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together.

Step 6

Add the egg to the melted cheese mixture and combine quickly to avoid the egg cooking. Then add the almond mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Flatten each part into a disc with your hands.

Step 8

Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the BBQ pork filling in the center of each disc.

Step 9

Fold the dough around the filling, pinching to seal and form a bun shape.

Step 10

Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash if desired for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb BBQ pork buns warm.
