I actually made a chocolate chip cookie version of these (let me know if you want the recipe!), but decided an unsweetened version would be great as light, gluten free buns for burgers or sandwiches. I made these on the smaller side for more of a slider burger and I’m obsessed. These are gluten free and vegan, so everyone can enjoy
These buns are super easy to whip up since they only have a few ingredients and you can shape them how you want. The sparkling water is what gives them their airiness, making them light and fluffy like clouds! Henry the name ;). They will puff and spread a bit while baking, so don’t flatten them out on the tray, keep them round and stacked.
Gluten Free Cloud Buns
These easy gluten free buns are perfect for sandwiches or burgers! They can be made completely vegan, as well.
Servings 6 buns
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1:1 gluten free flour
- 1/2 cup tigernut flour or almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup yogurt of choice I used coconut yogurt to keep vegan
- 1/4 cup sparkling water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Whisk all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add the yogurt and water and stir to combine. You should get a nice dough. If it’s too dry, add a little more sparkling water.
- Scoop dough on a parchment lined baking sheet. I made 6 smaller buns.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until fluffy to touch and JUST beginning to golden on the edges.
- Enjoy!
These look amazing! Will have to try!
