Everybody loves burgers. Making this popular comfort food compatible with a keto diet starts with the buns. It took me several attempts to finally make a bun that is fluffy and tastes just like bread. Feel free to use any fillings to re-create your favourite burger recipe. I used a simple slaw to serve with mine.
Here are some of my favourite burger fillings:
- ham & cheese
- crunchy BLT
- tuna with mayo and onion
- slow-cooked meat with mayo / soured cream dressing
- crispy bacon & avocado
Note: Due to the psyllium (high fibre content), make sure you drink plenty of water with these keto burger buns!

Instructions
- Make the Ultimate Keto Buns and Easy Russian Slaw. Mix the ground beef with the mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Create small, palm-size burgers.
- Preheat a large pan greased with ghee and add the burgers once hot. Turn the heat down to medium and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes. Do not turn the meat too soon or it will stick to the pan. Use a spatula to lightly press the burgers down while cooking.
- When done, set aside. Mix the mayonnaise with the Sriracha sauce.
- Cut the keto buns in half.
- Place each half, cut side down on a hot griddle pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
- Start assembling the burgers by adding a tablespoon to the mayo mixture on each of the keto bun halves. Top with meat and slaw. Serve the remaining slaw aside.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Instead of mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce, you can use more Russian dressing (recipe in Easy Russian Slaw).
