Very Low-Carb Hamburger Bun!

This is awesome!!! It makes the best bun for a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg topping. Thank you!!! Perfect for the low carber. The taste is great but doesn't overpower the burger. Next time I might try toasting it after slicing it.

Amazing low carb bun! I added 2-3 extra tbsp of the ground flax seed to get mine more like a paste and microwaved for about 1 minute 10 seconds. I thought this recipe sounded odd, but it turned out yummy, and tasted like a light fluffy bread. I will definitely be making this again - it made me feel like I wasn't missing out on a nice cheeseburger dinner by trying to make a lettuce wrap. Thanks for the recipe!

Perfect for anyone watching their carbs! I am on Atkins and was very hesitant to try this but figured I had nothing to lose. I made this with a turkey burger, some lettuce and a little bit of Caesar dressing - yum! With grilling season here I have really missed a bun for my burger but I actually forgot I wasn't eating a real bun. Another benefit is I couldn't finish the burger because it was filling. That never happens with me! This is a keeper.

Quick, easy and delicious! Now when we have hamburgers I can whip this up for my celiac stepdaughter who can't eat wheat - no fuss, no mess and she loves it!

I feel like I just found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I mean come on: 12 grams of protein and 8 grams of dietary fiber per bun, wow! Now, let me tell you, applesauce is a decent substitute for butter in bread like recipes (quick breads, muffins, etc.) - Though to test this hypothesis, and so I didn't risk giving this recipe a faulty review, I made it both ways. Both turned out equally as moist and bouncy; although, they varied in taste ever so slightly. If you are a health-nut (in training) like I am, forgo the butter and use an equal measurement of applesauce. Also be aware of the bowl size you use: the width at the largest point of your bowl will likely be the size of your bun. I used this for the Honey Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

This was wonderful. I was truly amazed. I did use 1/2 flax and 1/2 oat flour. This is my new miracle bread. Also used Smart Balance instead of butter. Thank you sooooo much....

I have to say that this quirky little recipe is quite good! I've been low carbing it for almost five months now, and this bun is quite satisfying and easy to make. I'm not sure how it would taste by itself, toasted with butter on it, but I'll give it a try. Then next time I make it, I'll try putting in some herbs, maybe garlic powder and/or onion flakes. It would be great for grilled cheese! I will enjoy eating "sandwich" type meals again!

Great! Perfect for Atkins!
I used it for an egg, bacon avocado breakfast sandwich. Fantastic!

I have made this many times now. I always sub equal parts applesauce for butter to keep lower calories. It's easy to make and great for those avoiding wheat/carbs.

I tried this recipe and could not believe the texture....just like grainy bread. It tasted just like bread too. I sliced mine into four circles and made little ham and cheese sandwiches with a tiny bit of grainy mustard. Delicious. My only problem is that as good as it tasted, I'm concerned with the fat content..........I could almost feel my arteries getting plugged up....figuratively of course. There is another low carb bun on this site which only calls for two tsp of olive oil. I will try that one next and hopefully it will taste as good with less saturated fat. I am giving this recipe 4 starts for taste minus 1 for the high fat content.

Weird recipe and method to be sure - but surprisingly satisfying. As a low carber, I can tell you this brought about some sorely missed normality to my meals. Very healthy too - loads of high fibre. Best of all - whip one up for yourself in 3 minutes tops. Thanks for this.

Wasn't good but it wasn't terrible either. I started to eat it with my burger but after a few bites I took it off & ate the burger without it.

This was so good! It's simple, very few ingredients and three simple steps...mix, cook, enjoy! I used it for a hamburger which was so refreshing. Instead of having to eat my patty and fixin's with a knife and fork, I actually got to eat with my hands...lol! You should definitely try this recipe, it's not only brings a nice change for us low carbers (bread!) it actually tastes good. I will use this many times in the future I'm sure! Thanks for the recipe!

I am still in shock about this one. It makes no logical sense, but BOY HOWDY -- did it ever make a good Ham, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich this morning. I can see the appeal of a BLT, too. What a find!

I have to say this was amazing. I used it for a blt, wow. It makes it even easier to stick to a low carb way of eating

WOW! If i could give this 100 stars, I would. This recipe is absolutely FABULOUS as I'm doing atkins and while I don't necessarily miss the taste of bread - it's more the fact that I am sick of eating sandwich fixin's and burgers with a fork. This bun is the best! Thanks!!

This is a great recipe. I make a flat bread/pancake with the same ingredients by pouring the batter in a thin layer into a silicone cake pan instead of a bowl. I add garlic and onion powder or splenda and cinnamon for the pancake.

What a quick simple recipe that fills that gap of low carb sandwiches. Had mine as a BLT - first one in ages, ohh I did enjoy it!

I love these things! I have been using them for bread since going wheat-free and have substituted different things for the flax. It has worked well with ground rice and oat flour. Easy and great toasted. It also holds filling perfectly.
