The ultimate in cuteness! These Mini Keto Burgers with American Slaw are my new go to burger combination. Perfect for New Year’s Eve, a gathering like birthdays, game nights or they’re great too if you just fancy a smaller portion.
Once you have the burger buns, these burgers are simple and easy to make, and the kids can get busy preparing whichever other toppings they want to try!
Recipe Tips
If you make a large batch, you can freeze the buns and then just make the burger patties and some fresh slaw, which will take less than 15 minutes. You can have a delicious low-carb, high-protein snack ready to go in no time.
If you can't eat nuts, you can use our Nut-Free Keto Buns instead of the Ultimate Keto Buns.
Serve these buns with mustard, ketchup and/or more mayonnaise. Here are some sugar-free recipe you can make in just a few minutes:

Ingredients (makes 8 servings)
Burger buns:
Burger patties:
- 400 g ground beef (10.6 oz)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil or ghee for greasing
American slaw:
- 1 cup white cabbage, shredded (70 g/ 2.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup red cabbage, shredded (35 g/ 1.2 oz)
- 1/2 cup sliced fennel (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
- 1 medium spring onion, finely sliced (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 4 tbsp paleo mayonnaise (60 g/ 2.1 oz) you can make your own mayo
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp sriracha for extra heat
Instructions
- Prepare the buns as per our Ultimate Keto Buns recipe but only making half of the recipe.
- Follow the recipe until step 9. Roll into 8 smaller buns (instead of 5 regular buns), sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 35 minutes. They don’t need quite as long because they are smaller.
Note: We're only making half of the original recipe to make 8 mini burger buns.
- To make the burgers, place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl: ground beef, garlic, onion powder, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine. Shape into 8 small patties, about 50 g (1.8 oz) each.
- Once the burger buns are almost baked, heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the burgers and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Turn off the heat and place to one side.
- To make the slaw, add the ingredients to a mixing bowl: shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, fennel, onion and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, and optionally add some sriracha chili sauce for extra heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
- Once the buns have cooled, slice in half. Optionally, you can spread some more mayonnaise on the cut side of each bun. Top with a burger patty, slaw and finally top of the burger bun.
- The burger patties are best prepared fresh. The slaw can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. The burger buns can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Optionally, serve with sugar-free pickles, mayonnaise, mustard and/or ketchup (you can make your own ketchup.
