DRY INGREDIENTS

Ground Raw Sunflower Seed = 100 g / 0.8 cup (Refer to the video on how to grind the sunflower seeds)

Ground Raw Pumpkin Seed = 50 g / 0.4 cup (Refer to the video on how to grind the pumpkin seeds)

Baking Powder = 8 g / 2 tsp

Salt = 1/2 tsp

Whole Psyllium Husk (Ground until half its original volume the weigh it) = 27 g / 3 tbsp

(Note: If using pre ground psyllium powder, start with 1 tsp and add a little gradually just until firm enough to shape. Do not add too much as the buns will be denser, wetter and stickier. Please see this video about psyllium husk and powder for better understanding and success.)

WET INGREDIENTS

Egg Whites = 3 large (107 g) (Note: The protein from egg whites helps to boost the rise while the fats from egg yolks hinders the rise. Using egg whites also prevents any eggy taste. Hence, it is highly recommended to use egg whites)

Apple Cider Vinegar = 10 ml / 2 tsp (You can also use white vinegar or lemon juice)

Hot or boiling water = 150 ml (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2.  Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3.  In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.

4.  Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. The dough is soft but will firm up quickly after mixing.

5.  Wet your hands for easier handling as the dough is quite sticky.

6.  Divide the dough into equal portions. In the video, I divided the dough around 85 to 90 g each. Hence, it yielded 5 buns.

7.  Shape the dough into balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

8.  Top with any seeds, nuts or herbs of your choice.

9.   Bake at the lowest rack for about 20 to 30 mins or until golden brown. The buns are done when they feel light to the touch and sound hollow when you tap on their sides.

10.  The best part about buns is that you could eat them while still warm and it's heavenly with a spread of butter or homemade keto strawberry jam (see video on Keto Strawberry Jam). They also make great sandwiches or burger buns, and they are so crispy when toasted.
