Gluten-Free Burger Buns

A recipe for vegan and gluten-free burger buns topped with sesame seeds.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 cups cocoanut flour
• 1/2 cup chickpea flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• 3 tablespoons filtered water
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Place the cauliflower florets in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 8 minutes, or until soft when tested with a fork. Remove from heat and drain well.
2. Add the cocoanut flour, chickpea flour, Himalayan salt, coconut oil, and coconut milk. Using a potato masher, mash and mix until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the ground flax seeds and filtered water. Let sit 2 minutes or until gooey.
4. Add the flax seed mixture to the cauliflower mixture. Again mash and mix until well combined.
5. Using clean hands, form into six balls and flatten each for buns that are 3-inch round by 2-inch high. Top each with an equally divided amount of sesame seeds, and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking pan.
6. Bake in a preheated 375ºF  for 20 minutes. Place a loose piece of tinfoil over the top and bake an additional 20 minutes, or until golden in color and tested with an inserted toothpick that comes out clean. Let cool and serve with our recipe for Black Bean Burgers Patties, or your favorite store-bought vegan and gluten-free burger patties.
