Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: First things first, let’s get our oven ready and our baking sheets prepared. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This consistent temperature is important for ensuring your buns bake evenly without burning. While the oven heats up, line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent the buns from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. If you don’t have parchment paper, you can lightly grease your baking sheets, but parchment paper is highly recommended for the best results.
Melt the Cheesy Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 3 cups of shredded cheese and the 2 ounces of softened cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until both cheeses are completely melted and well combined. This usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes total. Be careful not to overheat the cheese, as it can become oily. Once melted, stir until you have a smooth, gooey mixture. This cheesy base is what gives our keto buns their incredible texture and flavor.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Eggs: Now, it’s time to add the dry ingredients to our melted cheese mixture. Add the 1 3/4 cups of almond flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the bowl with the melted cheese. Stir until everything is roughly combined. It might look a bit clumpy at this stage, and that’s perfectly fine. Next, crack in your 3 large eggs. Stir vigorously until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a cohesive dough. This dough will be sticky, which is exactly what we want. If the dough feels too stiff, you can add a tiny splash of water or milk (about a teaspoon), but usually, this recipe yields a perfect consistency. Make sure there are no dry pockets of almond flour left.
Shape and Bake: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, divide the dough into about 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, or if you prefer a more classic bun shape, flatten them slightly into discs. Place the shaped buns onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one as they will puff up slightly. I like to lightly wet my hands or use a silicone spatula to smooth out the tops of the buns before baking, which can help them bake more evenly and prevent too much browning on top.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the baking sheets in your preheated oven and bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and feel firm to the touch. The exact baking time can vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them, especially during the last few minutes. You want a lovely golden-brown color on the outside, indicating they are cooked through. When you tap them gently, they should sound a little hollow.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, carefully remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While they are delicious warm, allowing them to cool will help them firm up further. These keto buns are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage! To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster oven or a regular oven for a few minutes until warmed through. Enjoy these amazing, guilt-free buns with your favorite toppings or as part of your keto meal!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these keto buns ahead of time?
Yes, absolutely! These keto buns can be made a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, you can freeze them once completely cooled. Simply wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw at room temperature or gently warm in the oven.
What can I use if I don’t have almond flour?
If almond flour isn’t your preference or you have an allergy, you can try substituting it with coconut flour. However, please note that coconut flour is much more absorbent, so you’ll likely need to adjust the liquid content of the recipe. A good starting point is to use about 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every cup of almond flour and add liquid gradually until you reach the desired dough consistency.
