My family and friends are huge fans of hot dogs, burgers, and fast food dishes, so when we are having a party or just a weekend dinner, we often like to prepare a keto version of them to ensure we eat something delicious and healthy at the same time. And today, I choose to share our stunning keto hot dog buns recipe. 

What Are Hot Dogs?

Served on a bun with various condiments, sauces, and vegetables, hot dogs are a type of sausage made from a mixture of ground beef, pork, or turkey and various spices and flavorings.

Are Hot Dog Buns Keto-Friendly?

No, regular hot dog buns are typically made from wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates. A traditional bun (53g) has 24 grams of carbs per serving.

Luckily, with this low carb keto hot dog buns recipe, you can enjoy the same texture and flavor of regular hot dog buns, without all those carbs.

Ingredients Needed

You will be surprised to see that you need only a few ingredients to create these delicious fluffy hot dog buns. Here is a list of everything you will need:

  • Almond Flour and Coconut Flour –  you will need both superfine, blanched almond, and coconut flour for the fluffiest texture.
  • Baking Powder – helps the hot dog buns rise.
  • Mozzarella Cheese –  try using pre-shredded part skim, not regular mozzarella that holds too much moisture.
  • Cream Cheese – you will need full-fat softened cream cheese.
  • Eggs – help to bind everything together.
  • Salt – to taste. Helps enhance all the flavors.

How To Make These Keto Hot Dog Buns

Making and enjoying hot dogs has never been easier during a keto diet. Trust me, even the most unskilled kitchen workers can make keto-friendly hot dog buns. Here is everything you have to do:

Making the Dough

Add the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for one minute until melted.

Remove the bowl from the microwave, whisk them together, and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt to another bowl and whisk until well combined.

Add the melted cheese mixture over the dry ingredients and two eggs. Mix using your hands until all the ingredients are well combined.

Forming The Buns

Transfer the buns dough onto plastic foil and shape it into a ball. 

Remove the plastic foil and divide the batter into 4 pieces.

Shape each piece of dough using your hands into a hot dog bun and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Baking Keto Hot Dog Buns

Whisk the third egg and brush the buns using a pastry brush.

Bake the buns for 20 minutes or until golden brown on the outside.

Remove the buns from the oven, slice them down the middle, add the hot dogs, top with sauces, and enjoy.

Tips For Making Keto Hot Dog Buns

  • Ensure that the mozzarella is fully melted before adding in the eggs.
  • Let the melted cheese chill for a few minutes before adding the eggs. Otherwise, they will start cooking.
  • Don’t overmix the dough since this can cause the buns to become tough and dense.
  • If you want to make smaller buns, divide the dough into 8 logs.

Here are some delicious serving ideas for these keto hot dog buns:

  • Regular Hot Dogs: Serve hot dogs in keto buns with sugar-free ketchup, mustard, green onion, and chopped parsley.
  • You can also top these hot dogs with homemade keto chili and shredded cheddar cheese.
