Are you looking for a low carb hamburger bun option for your summer BBQ? These tasty Low Carb Cauliflower Buns are perfect for the ketogenic diet!

Ever since I went gluten free 5+ years ago, one thing I have missed is eating burgers with an actual bun. I love burgers wrapped in lettuce, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it would be nice to have something with a little more substance.

So I was thrilled when I stumbled upon the idea of making bread from cauliflower rice. I played around a bit and found an easy way to make Low Carb burger buns using that method.

You have to make sure to cook it long enough, but when you do, it gives you the feel of a real bun in your mouth when you eat it with a burger. It was really nice to get that experience again!

And, since they're low carb, you can eat these cauliflower buns when you're on the ketogenic diet! You could omit the sesame seeds and use them for sandwiches too!

Give them a try and let us know how they work for you in the comments at the end of this post!
