Default Burger Bun in a Minute

Oh my gosh guys, I just found this and I had to post it.
I've tried the Chocolate Muffin in a minute version of this so I know it will work and I'm so excited to try it!

http://www.food.com/recipe/very-low...rger-bun-229625

2 tablespoons melted butter
pinch of salt
1 big egg
4 tablespoons flax meal
1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix well in a bowl the size you want your bun to be. Nuke 1 minute or until centre has set. Cool, halve and fill.
There are only around 2g of carbs in this bun between the flax & baking powder, so it's a good fall-back if you're sick of eating burgers with nothing around them!

I make mine with half the amount of ground flax and fat (I use 1 T of melted coconut oil and 2T ground flax) and like the taste better.

Default It's perfect

The very first recipe on this thread is perfect! The flax seed flour gives me my grains hit and the flavor of flax is strong enough to overcome the egg flavor. And it's so fast! Three minutes and I have two slides of bread. Thank you!

It is very high cal, but I don't care. Delicious. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip Elizellen, it made a big bun, I could have done with half. I toasted it with turkey and cheese on top, even my carb-addict hubby loved it!

I've never made any version of these... when you all say you toast it, do you mean you can put the finished product in the toaster?

Yes, I slice it in two and toast it. I can honestly saw that this has helped me not cheat because I make sandwichs out of it and use it to dip eggs.

I often make mine as a thin disk instead of in a bowl to make it an easier substitute for slices of bread

I don't use a microwave, but would really like to try this. Any ideas if I could bake it in the oven and for approximately how long? Think if would turn out ok?

Thanks,
Pam

I made a batch in the oven a few days ago and think I did them for too long as they turned out quite firm (almost hard but with a little "give").

I took them with me anyway when I visited my sister and used two halves as replacements for a burger bun at McDonalds and they were really quite good and didn't disintegrate on me like my usual ones do if not toasted beforehand.

So I will make them this way again to use when travelling!

I think it would work but am not sure about timings.

Maybe try 10 minutes first then see if done and leave in longer if needed?
