Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cup Super Fine Almond Flour not ground almonds (160g)
  • 2 tablespoon flax meal 13g
  • 1.5 tablespoon Psyllium Husk Powder make your own (12g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ¾ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • ¾ cups warm water 180 ml
  • 6 capsules activated charcoal 1 tsp
Topping
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C / 170C fan or 375F / 340F fan.
  2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl, breaking up any clumps.
  3. Add the wet ingredients (slowly pouring in the water) and mix using a hand whisk with a dough blade. Leave to stand for 10 - 15 minutes to let the psyllium husk powder absorb all the water. The dough will still be a little sticky.
  4. Lightly oil your hands and shape into 4 buns. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the tops with optional sesame seeds.
  5. Bake for about 35 minutes until you can insert and remove a skewer without crumbs sticking. Start checking at about 30 minutes.
  6. Allow to cool before slicing. Note, they will firm up as they cool.

  • Please follow all steps to ensure a good rise - the warm water, the extra fine flour, the home-milled flax and psyllium husk. Also, do check that your baking powder is fresh. It should fizz when you put it in water.
  • Option to use 1 teaspoon of squid ink instead of the charcoal.
