Low Carb Hot Dog Buns Recipe

Summer is almost here and that means cookouts! Take these Low Carb Hot Dog Buns to your next cookout and enjoy all the fun summer has in store without suffering your blood sugar levels. Bonus! They are gluten-free!

The warmer months are upon us and you know what that means!

Barbecues, picnics and social gatherings! And inevitably, somebody always serves hot dogs. I cannot wait!

The thing with hot dogs though is that while some are low carb, most are packed with not-so-good-for-you ingredients. Gluten-Free Hot Dogs are even that much harder to come by.

I try to eat clean, it’s a pretty rare occasion when I’ll give in and have one. But there are those occasions (clean eating has an 80/20 rule!), when I do, and when I do, I bring along these hot dog buns so that my blood sugar doesn’t pay the price for my occasional treat.

How Many Net Carbs per Serving in our Low Carb Hot Dogs?

  • 3 Net Carbs! Now if you ask me that is way better than if you were to go the traditional hot dog bun route. Our blood sugar levels are going to thank us.

This idea came from a post I saw on Facebook. Unfortunately, it was just an image without any credit, so I have no idea who to give credit to on this. It was called 90 Second Bread. I did adapt the recipe ever so slightly to make it dairy free and change the measurements to accommodate making the buns.

Please note that you will need a small, microwave-safe casserole dish for this. Mine was 5×7. Also, watch those hot dogs! Many can have hidden carbs, not to mention yucky ingredients!

The process for these is pretty simple.

How to get fluffy and soft low-carb hot dog buns

  • I’ve played around with this recipe since posting this and I found that the texture of the bread becomes much softer and fluffier with an extra 2 tbsp. of oil. I leave it to you and your macros to make the choice.

HAVING HAMBURGERS?? We’ve got you covered.

Simply cook these in small, microwave safe bowls instead of a casserole dish. Depending on the size of your bowl, you can get 3 to 4 buns from this recipe. Look for a bowl that has straight sides. The base/bottom of the bowl will be the size of the final bun. You can see the process photos for burger buns here.

Directions in case you want to oven bake and not microwave.

If you don’t have a microwave or you just would like to avoid using it here are how to make low carb hot dog buns in the oven.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes. Slice the buns in the pan and check for any lingering moisture below. You may need to pop back in for another 5 minutes as ovens vary.

    What are the dimensions of the dish you are showing? Looks smaller than a brownie pan (7×11″). Trying to see if I have something suitable. Thanks.

      In reality you can use whatever size pan you’d like the shape and thickness might vary but in that sense it’s flexible as you’ll just need to cook for a bit longer or a little bit less. I actually don’t have that pan anymore so I can’t measure it BUT I’d think it was around 7×10 perhaps.. Just make sure it is microwaveable safe dish.

        There seems to be more and more recipes that fail to put the size of the baking dish/pan they use and it makes the biggest difference in the way the food turns out. People need to know to avoid over or under baking and possible having to throw away expensive ingredients and wasting time. I wouoldn’t make the recipe if I didn’t know what pan to use.

          Sorry you feel that way. There was plenty of comments about the size of pan used. As it really depends what size of thickness of a bun you want to have. We’ve used 6×5 or 7×10 pans…

          I used super fine almond flour along with the other three ingredients listed. My batter was thick and crumbly. I cooked it in the microwave for 2 minutes and it cracked. What did I do wrong?

      Mmm. . . this is a tricky one. If it was sitting on the bun for a good amount of time I’d say you probably would need to utilize a fork after a while. But I guess you’d need to do the same with most breads anyways. What I DO know though, this sounds delicious with chili and I want to have this for dinner now. πŸ˜‰

    This a perfect recipe. I NEED simple to be able to eat low carb. I used a raw almond flour and used the exact measurements and it turned out great. I should have read the reviews first. I definitely try the my butter dish to cook up my next batch. Thank you for this great and simple recipe =)

    Loved it! I have a great microwave-safe container in the shape of a bun β€” well, a rectangular one β€” and it worked perfectly with me making a third of the recipe. Used about 2 tbsp of olive oil. Thought it was perfect after being fried up in some butter. Thanks!!

    I’ve done the microwave method but sprinkled some sesame seeds on top (before microwaving). After microwaving, it still looked a wet to me so I microwaved for another 30 seconds then toasted it on my stove! Super delicious! Thank you!

    Has anyone tried to make a single bun by using 1/3 of the ingredients? NO one else eats low carb in the house and I can only have ONE per day probably, unless I Starve all day and then have two!!

    Reply
    • Lindsay says

      July 4, 2018 at 5:24 am

      I don’t see why not! The main thing would be finding a bowl/dish that will make the dough thick enough. I personally can’t think of any dish that would work for 1/3 of the dough and make a single hot dog bun. A single hamburger bun might be more feasible since small bowls work well. See this recipe here.

    I only see the cook time of two minutes and maybe another 30 sec. But the cook time on the post said 4 minutes. Do you cook for another two minutes after you cut the recipe into three pieces

    • Lindsay says

      April 29, 2018 at 11:53 am

      Just depending on your microwave you MAY need to cook for another two minutes. You’ll need to cook AT LEAST 30 seconds after you cut the recipe into three pieces but perhaps longer just depending on your microwave. You want any moisture that might be lurking at the bottom to be absorbed. Hope this helps! πŸ™‚

    Can coconut flour be subbed for almond flour?

    Reply
    • Lindsay says

      April 10, 2018 at 11:24 am

      While I haven’t tried it with coconut flour yet I’d think it should work. HOWEVER – Coconut Flour and Almond Flour are not normally a 1-1 ratio so you are going to have to adjust the flour a bit I suspect. It is generally a 1/4 cup coconut flour to 1 cup almond flour as a general rule of thumb. Let us know what you end up doing! πŸ™‚

      Amy – That’s for 1 bun. But please remember that eating low carb often includes eating more calories simply because you increase your fat content. I tracked my food for the past few days and I’ve been eating about 3000 calories per day and I’m still dropping weight steadily. Calories matter, but not as much when you eat this way.

Hi, I'm Lindsay!

As a clean eater, I’ve become frustrated with the number of low carb recipes that call for a "box of something" as an ingredient. There are so many FAKE low carb foods out there. I mean, they are low in carbs, but the ingredients often leave me scratching my head.

I may not want carbs, but that doesn’t mean I want to replace them with chemicals and garbage! So I started applying low carb eating to my usual clean eating ways, and so far, it's working great!

Join me and my family on our low-carb life.
