Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower florets
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.5 cups Grated zucchini
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they form a rice-like consistency.

Step 3

Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Let it cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, almond flour, coconut flour, grated zucchini, eggs, olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each into a bun shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each bun for an added crunch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
