FOR SERVING:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment on a baking sheet and spray with Primal Kitchen Avocado oil spray and set aside.
  • Separate the eggs (save the yolks for another recipe like my keto ice cream, hollandaise, mayo or lemon curd), and place the whites into a large bowl or stand mixer. Add the allulose, gelatin, salt and cream of tartar if using and whip the whites for a few minutes until VERY stiff.
  • Turn the mixer to low and gently mix the egg white protein powder into the whites. Do not over mix or the buns will end up like styrofoam.
  • Use a 4-inch ice cream scoop like THIS one, to scoop out 6 buns and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until cook through and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool completely before removing from the pans.
  • Store leftover buns in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
  • To make the Protein Sparing Sliders, heat a skillet or grill to high heat. Form 6 patties that are 2 1/2 inches wide by 3/4 inches thick. Season the outside of the burgers well with salt. Place on the skillet or grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and place onto sliced buns.
  • Top burgers with lettuce leaves, a slice of tomato and serve with Primal Kitchen Ketchup, Ranch and Dijon mustard.
  • Best served fresh.
