Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup dry curd cottage cheese (aka farmer's cheese) sub 24-hour-dripped SCD yogurt or greek yogurt for the same results
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • poppyseeds, sesame seeds, or everything but the bagel spice for seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix the almond flour, baking soda and dry curd cottage cheese in a food processor on high.
  • Proceed to mix in the apple cider vinegar, melted butter, honey, and finally eggs, blending until smooth and well-combined.
  • Now remove the blade from the food processor, and you can make these sandwich rounds/buns in either a bun/"whoopie" pan (I have a silicone one I purchased off Amazon that I love, you can check it out here), or you can make these in a jumbo-sized muffin tray (this is the one I use/love)-- see photos for both options below. Please note, these turn out best in terms of shape/form if you use one of these two molds, as opposed to just plopping them down on a baking sheet directly, which I've also tried-- if you make small rounds on a baking tray, you end up with a more crispy flatbread that would work well for pizza, for example. 
  • For the whoopie silicone mold, you'll want to use approximately 2 + 1/2 tbsp of batter per bun, and you can use around 3 tbsp of batter for the jumbo-sized muffin tray for a larger, thicker bun. Next, you can opt to sprinkle poppyseeds, sesame seeds, Everything but the Bagel spice on top, or else, leave them seed-less!
  • Once ready, bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 15-17 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from trays. Store in fridge or freezer, they freeze extremely well and you can pop one out for a breakfast sandwich, lunch, dinner bun (think: garlic bread, or even better, cheesy garlic bread) etc. The possibilities are endless!
