Hamburgers are the ultimate keto food. Loaded with protein and fats and topped with cheese and pickles, they’re all but carb-free, not to mention delicious! That all changes when you put your burger into a bread bun. Just one hamburger roll will kick you out of ketosis and derail your weight loss.
While you can eat your burger without the bun, and many keto dieters to just that, there is no escaping that this takes some of the enjoyment away from this popular American meal.
This recipe for keto hamburger buns is quick and easy to make. Best of all, it’s 100% keto diet-friendly.

These buns are low in net carbs, very filling, easy to make, and really tasty; everything a keto bread substitute should be. They’re also high in all-important fat that will help you lose weight even faster.
