FANTASTIC Sandwich/Burger bun recipe!

These are too die for!  I added unflavoured protein powder to increase the protein content and you can't taste it at all.  The calories are a bit high so I'll do some tweaking to try and bring them down about 50 calories per bun.

Flax Sandwich/Burger Buns

 

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon flax meal = 68g

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese - Salerno = 50g

1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder 

3/4 teaspoon baking powder 

1 1/2 teaspoon granular Splenda 
1/2-1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional - I used 1 tsp

1 1/2 teaspoons dry minced onion - I used 3 tsp = 6g of dry ROASTED onion

3 eggs - I used 2 eggs and 1 egg white equivalent, next time I will use 1 egg and 2 egg white equivalent

1 1/2 tablespoons water 

1 1/2 tablespoons oil

40g Iso Natural unflavoured whey

 

Put the dry minced onion in a small bowl and add just enough water to moisten; let stand until softened. Mix the dry ingredients; add the onions, eggs, water and oil. Pour the batter into 6 greased muffin top pans. Bake at 325º 15-20 minutes. To serve, split the buns horizontally to make two halves using a long, thin knife.

that sounds wonderful.  Wonder  what you could use instead of a muffin top pan?

You could probably use any type of pan that has a well.  If it's deep just fill it partway.  The batter is very wet so you need to put it in some kind of pan.  I bet a donut pan would work too. 

The rolls do rise a bit but not hugely.

I have little muffin pans, well, what used to be normal sized before huge ones came out.  Like cupcake size.  i guess that will work, just make more.

Thanks Yaseem.  I am always looking for new things to try and I think I have most of this at my house.
