CARBLESS HAMBURGER BUN

(aka Cloud Bread, aka Oopsie Bread)

There are many names for this bad boy but the long and short is that it is bread-like texture without the carbs. Perfect for a bun, pancake or pretty much anything dough-y you want to make sans carbs.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• ¹⁄₄teaspoon baking powder
• 1(1 g) packet artificial sweetener

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300degF
2. Separate the eggs (yolks from white)
3. In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the cream cheese and sweetener until there are no lumps
4. In another bowl add the baking powder to the whites and beat the whites until they are fluffy and form nice stiff peaks
5. Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed but don’t over-mix, you want the air in there
6. Spray cookie sheet(s) with pam or use parchment paper and scoop the mixture into even rounds on your cookie sheets, in whatever size you want
7. Bake on the middle rack until they turn golden brown (usually about 20 mins)
8. Remove from the pans and cool

When warm they are crumbly and similar to cake but when completely cooled their texture is more bread-like. After they are completely cooled you can seal them in a baggie or tupperware and store them overnight…they will become more bread-like.

One side will be roundish like a bun top and the other will be flat…the flat side is great for peanut butter and/or jam and/or toasting with butter!
