Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Egg whites
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 teaspoons Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing a steamer. Fill the bottom section with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Separately, mix the egg whites, warm water, and vinegar until evenly blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Using lightly wet hands to prevent sticking, shape each portion into a smooth bun.

Step 6

Cut small squares of parchment paper and place each bun on a separate square to prevent sticking in the steamer.

Step 7

Arrange the buns in the steamer basket, leaving space between them to allow for expansion.

Step 8

Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the buns for 30 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent steam pressure.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the buns from the steamer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your low carb steamed buns as a healthy and delicious bread alternative!
