Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Add the cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to mix evenly.
Step 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and melted butter. Microwave on low heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Add the cream cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, then crack in the eggs.
Step 6
Mix everything together thoroughly using a spatula or your hands, forming a cohesive dough.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and form each into a round bun shape.
Step 8
Place the buns onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow spreading during baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 10
Allow the buns to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
