1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale

2.  Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3.  In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until well combined.

4.  Add all the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.

5.  Knead the dough for a while. Wet your hands for easier handling as the dough is quite sticky.

6.  Portion the dough into 8 x 90 g balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

7.  Top with any of seeds, nuts or herbs of your choice (optional).

8.   Bake for 30 mins or until golden brown. The buns are done when they feel light to the touch and sound hollow when you tap on their sides.

9.  The best part about buns is that you could eat them while still warm and it's heavenly with a spread of butter or homemade low carb jams. And they are so crispy when toasted.

Pumpkin Seed Buns

Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

Pumpkin Meal = 180 g / 1 1/2 cup (Refer to the video on how to grind your own pumpkin meal. If you use store bought pumpkin flour, it may not turn out exactly the same as it is super fine and concentrated so the ratio may be different)

Coconut Flour = 60 g / 1/2 cup

Baking Powder = 12 g / 3 tsp

Salt = 1/2 to 1 tsp

Whole Psyllium Husk = 27 g / 3 tbsp (Ground until half its original volume then weight it. Please check out this video about psyllium husk and powder for better understanding and success.)

WET INGREDIENTS

Eggs = 5 large egg whites (190 g) OR 3 whole large eggs (Note: The protein from egg whites helps to boost the rise while the fats from egg yolks hinders the rise. Hence, it is highly recommended to use egg whites. You can also use egg whites from the carton).

Apple Cider Vinegar = 28 g / 2 tbsp

Hot or boiling water = 240 ml / 1 cup

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
