Ingredients

1 ½ cups almond flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
2 large eggs
1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing, optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt Cheeses
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Everything
- Add the eggs to the cheese mixture and mix well. Then, add the dry ingredients and knead into a dough.
Form Buns
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll them into buns. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Optional Topping
- Brush the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Cool & Serve
- Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

The dough may be sticky; lightly oil your hands when shaping the buns.
If you don’t have a microwave, melt the cheeses in a double boiler on the stovetop.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Tips for Success

✅ Use room temperature eggs – This helps the dough mix better.
✅ Don’t overbake – Check at 15 minutes to prevent dryness.
✅ Make it dairy-free – Use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
✅ Add herbs – Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs for extra flavor.

Q&A Section

❓ Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
➡ No, coconut flour absorbs more liquid. If substituting, use ¼ cup coconut flour for every 1 cup almond flour and add an extra egg.

❓ Can I freeze these buns?
➡ Yes! Freeze in an airtight bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster.

❓ Can I make this recipe without cheese?
➡ Cheese helps bind the dough, but you can experiment with dairy-free substitutes like nutritional yeast and plant-based cheese.
