The Amazing Paleo Bun!

10/24/2014

0 Comments

 
   Alright, so, eating paleo means you cut out things like sugar, dairy and beans, but another thing you cut out is grains. I really didn't care much about that last one because I've never really been a huge grain lover. Well, I loooves me some grilled cheese, but that's not just regular toast or a sandwich; it exists all by itself as a delectable food, so, yup. 
   Anyway, not having bread and buns, etc., didn't bother me. But one day I had made some fantastic soup and thought, "....gee, something to dip into this would sure be swell" (o.k., maybe I didn't talk like that, but it makes a better story). So because the soup was ready before it was actually dinnertime I started to experiment. 
   Truth time: my first 2 attempts at some sort of "roll" were terrible. I threw them into our "chicken bowl" (aka-our compost-aka-what we feed our chickens!). :)  
   But, the second bun was better than the first, so I thought third time could be the charm, and it was! Oh it was!!! It was soft, but could hold it's own, and was just what my soup needed! So many exclamation marks in this post!!! Sorry!!!!! haha...oh man...
   I still don't crave bread and buns, but having a recipe to use when you do want it is awesome! I felt like eating a burger with my hands and not completely bun-free with a knife and fork, so I whipped a double batch of bun and it made my (grumpy, pre-period) day! Over share? My bad.

The Amazing Paleo Bun

Ingredients: 


(This makes one bun with 1/2 inch pieces when sliced in half. Double recipe for a thicker bun as I did in the photos). I like a double bun for a burger, but just a single bun if I want something to dip into soup. :) 

  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil (melted coconut, olive oil or melted butter or ghee)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 Tbsp seasoning-Optional: if you're making this to toast for breakfast or just as a snack, add some cinnamon or nutmeg. Or, if making as a hamburger or sandwich bun, add some powdered garlic, onion, paprika, a spice blend, you get the idea.

Method:

  1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Add the egg and oil, and mix 'er up!
  3. Spray a 6 ounce ramekin with cooking spray (or with coconut oil using your fingers).
  4. Pour the batter into the ramekin and microwave for 90 seconds. When I made 2 buns I just flipped the first bun out of the ramekin onto a cooling rack and re-used it to make the second bun. 
  5. Um....there's really nothing else to do now but eat the bun!

This is 2 buns, one used for the top, and one for the bottom
   The picture above shows how these buns are soft and flexible, and not crumbly and weird!

Yum! Seriously, check out that amazing looking burger!
   Well, I'm off! I'm feeling kinda lazy, but laziness is not an option today, unfortunately! (thumbs down). 
    I hope everyone has a good weekend!
