Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Add the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese to the dry mixture and mix until the cheese is well coated with the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Make sure all components are thoroughly incorporated but do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion out the dough into 6 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun to allow for spreading.

Step 7

Gently shape each mound into a bun shape with your hands if necessary and lightly press down to flatten the tops.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These buns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
