2 Minutes Burger Buns
Single or small serving recipes using mostly microwave ovens are super simple, quick and delicious. They are so convenient for individuals who live alone or those who are the only ones living low carb or keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. This recipe does not require psyllium husks because of the small amount and the characteristics of flaxseeds. Of course, it will not work if you omit the psyllium husk when baking a loaf of bread with flaxseeds.
DIRECTIONS FOR BOTH VERSIONS
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Add the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine.
3. Add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. I used a 5-inch diameter round bowl which actually produces a regular burger sized bun. It is best to use a bowl that has a round curve at the bottom in order to get a similar burger bun shape. Brush the bowl with some oil. Then sprinkle with some sesame seeds (optional). The reason is that the bottom will become the top of the bun. Then transfer the batter or dough into the bowl. Spread evenly.
5. Microwave for 2 minutes or until cooked. This takes a bit longer to cook due to the thickness. It is done when the top feels firm. As not all microwaves are the same, you may need to adjust the timing accordingly. If you prefer to use the oven, you can bake it for about 9 to 10 minutes at 350 F or 180 C. However, the texture will be denser, stickier and flatter.
6. Loosen the sides of the bread with an offset spatula or anything suitable then turn over the bowl. Remove the bowl and the bread should slide off easily. Cool for a bit then slice into half.
7. The texture of the version with egg is light, airy, soft and fluffy.
8. The texture of the eggless version is heavier and denser, but it is still a good alternative.
9. Both versions are crispy when toasted.
10. Toast the buns slightly then assemble into a burger.
