Equipment

1 food processor
1 large rimmed sheet pan

Ingredients

1 cup raw walnuts sub almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup psyllium husk sub ground flax
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup boiled water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, add the raw walnuts. Process until the walnuts are ground and looks like a flour.
Add coconut powder, psyllium husk, baking powder and salt. Pulse a few times to mix the ingredients with the walnut flour.
Add the eggs and apple cider vinegar. Pulse a few times to mix with the flour mixture.
With the food processor running on low, gradually add the boiled water. You should get a ball of dough.
Remove the dough from the food processor, them portion it into 4-8 pieces.
Using clean hands, shape your dough into balls.
Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

Notes

A note about the method: A food processor is needed to make your own walnut flour. You can buy walnut flour- it's just hard to find in stores. A food processor also helps to really incorporate the ingredients and seems to result in a fluffier, more "bread-like" bun. This recipe CAN be made without a food processor. Simply add ingredients to a mixing bowl with walnut flour or substitute almond flour. I have found that the mixing bowl method still results in a tasty bun, it's just less fluffy than if a food processor is used.
