Paleo Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun

 

Motherhood is a busy, occupying, draining, insanely rewarding activity.  My attempt to get a post out in the morning was thwarted by the fact that I did not finish writing it until after midnight and sleepily scheduled it to launch on the 13th instead of the 12th.  Twelve hours later, I realized it had not gone out, and I posted it immediately, but I find myself too tired for a rambling, inventive post when I would instead read comics and go to bed, though I have made plenty of food this week.  The word is exhausted.

Last year, when I was much more disciplined about being Paleo, I invented this bad-boy recipe for hamburger buns, because I hated the gluten-free alternatives available at the store due to density of matter.  I was pretty pleased with it, and it was one of the most viewed posts on my soon-to-be retired Pinching Paleo Facebook page.

Paleo Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun (Breads)

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 2-tsp baking powder
• 1-tsp kosher salt
• 8 eggs
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup coconut milk drink/liquid of choice
• Sesame seeds

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 8 3-inch rings on the sheet if you have them. Grease all with additional coconut oil.
3. In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and melted coconut oil. Fold into flour mix. Spoon into rings. Sprinkle with seeds.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.

I hope to return tomorrow rested and refreshed and ready to regale you with tales of kitchen bliss and life at the Wildwood, but for now, good day.
