Whole Wheat Burger Buns (Healthy & Vegan)
These healthy whole wheat burger buns are crusty, tender, vegan and so easy to make! It's a budget-friendly one-bowl recipe that requires only 10 minutes of prep time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour 240 g
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup almond milk 80 ml
- 3 tbsp soy yogurt
- ⅓ cup water 80 ml
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
Optional Toppings
- Rolled oats
- Black or white sesame
- Pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Start by sifting your flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl.
- Add the water, almond milk, soy yogurt and lemon juice to the flour mix. Combine everything with a spoon, then knead with your hands for a few seconds, until a smooth but still sticky dough forms.
- Divide the whole wheat dough into 5-6 pieces, shape them into buns and line them on your prepared baking sheet, at about an inch distance.
- Brush the buns with apple sauce, and top with rolled oats, black sesame and pumpkin seeds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and let the buns cool slightly. Then cut horizontally with a sharp knife.
- Any leftover rolls can be stored in a bread bag or food container at room temperature for a couple of days. You can also keep them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them individually for a few months!
Notes
- You can make these buns with either sweetened or unsweetened milk, yogurt and applesauce.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make more buns in one go!
- You can swap some of the whole wheat flour for spelt flour or regular all-purpose flour — we haven’t tried making gluten-free vegan buns.
