Ingredients

Dry Ingredients
  • 270 grams whole wheat flour approx. 2 + ¼ cups (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
Wet Ingredients
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons Tahini
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened soy milk or almond milk or plant milk of choice
Optional Vegan Egg Wash + Topping
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened soy milk or plant milk of choice
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon sesame seeds
  • ½ tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Sift all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Then add the wet ingredients to the same bowl and stir until you have a ball of dough. It will be a little sticky.
  3. Sprinkle some flour on a clean cutting board or countertop. Then place your ball of dough on top and knead for 30-45 seconds, sprinkling more flour, as needed. Do not over knead.
  4. Now divide your dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round, flattened disk and place them on your prepared tray.
  5. OPTIONAL: Combine the 2 tablespoons of plant milk with the maple syrup in a small bowl and brush each of your vegan burger buns. Then sprinkle the buns with the seeds.
  6. Bake in your preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown. Then remove from the oven, let cool slightly and enjoy.

Notes

  • Weigh your flour for the most accurate results. Scooping flour out of a bag with measuring cups usually results in too much being used, and will produce dry and dense results.
  • Do not over knead the dough. Over kneading can cause dense and chewy results.
  • For a softer bun, use white whole wheat flour also known as whole wheat pastry flour. Or try 50 percent whole wheat flour and 50 percent unbleached white all-purpose flour.
  • These vegan hamburger buns taste best on the same day they're made, but you may keep them at room temperature in a zip-top bag for 2-3 days. Or freeze airtight for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.
