Ingredients
1/2 tbsp softened or melted butter (or coconut oil)1/2 tbsp softened cream cheese1 egg white1 tbsp almond flour1/2 tbsp coconut flour1/2 tbsp flax meal1/2 tsp oat fiber1/2 tsp konjac (glucomannan) powder1/8 tsp baking sodaa few dashes of salt (optional)other spices such as garlic, rosemary...(optional)1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1. Stir/whisk the cream cheese, butter (or coconut oil) and egg white together well in a small, microwave-safe glass bowl (like pyrex) or mug. The size and shape should be similar to a bun.
2. Mix all dry ingredients in separate bowl.
3. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir until everything is blended together with no lumps.
4. Add the apple cider vinegar and quickly stir in just until it is incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX as it will collapse the gas bubbles that you've just created. Immediately put into the microwave and cook for 1 minute.
5. Let cool in bowl for about a minute - until it's not too hot to hold. Gently wedge a fork or spoon between the side of the bowl and the bun. Go around the bowl slightly lifting the bun. The goal is to gently release the bun from the bottom of the bowl so it doesn't stick when you flip it over. Once you've made sure it isn't sticking, flip the bowl to release the bun onto a plate or wire rack where it can cool for a few minutes.
6. Once the bun is handleable, carefully slice it in half with a bread knife. Put the 2 halves in the oven with the inside facing up. Broil for a minute or 2 until slightly golden. *Keep an eye on it because it can quickly burn if you're not paying attention.
7. Add your favorite burger and sandwich materials and enjoy!
