Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked quinoa (approximately ½ cup uncooked)
- 1 large ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed avocado and cooked quinoa. Mix well until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks of avocado remaining.
- Crack in the eggs and whisk until fully combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Gradually stir in the almond flour, followed by the chia seeds, baking powder, salt, and any additional seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder. Mix until the dough is well combined but do not overmix.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into six equal-sized buns and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the buns are firm to the touch and slightly golden on top.
- Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This cooling time helps enhance their texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, as they will mash more easily and contribute to a creamier bun.
- Customize the seasonings: Feel free to experiment with herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or even a hint of cayenne pepper for a kick of heat.
- Chill the dough: If your dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before forming the buns to make handling easier.
- Storage: These buns can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the oven or toaster for a fresh taste.
