Protein Cheese Buns
5 ingredients? High protein? Cheesy gooeyness? Oh yes, this is all the above. ‘
Because sometimes it’s nice to eat something other than whey and Greek yogurt to get your protein in!
For my bodybuilding goals, a relatively low-fat diet is ideal. But feel free to add butter or use full-fat cheese to increase the satiety of this recipe and slow the blood glucose response. This meatless recipe makes 4 small buns, but you can always use this to make one big one if you want to make some impressive meatless-protein sandwhiches!
Recipe:
Ingredients (Makes 4 Buns)
130g All Purpose Flour (1 cup)
1 cup Greek Yogurt (0% M.F., plain) (~120g)
40g shredded cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp baking powder
Optional: 1/2 tsp salt
Steps:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all your ingredients except the egg and half of the cheese (leave these to top later on).
Mix the ingredients until a moist ball forms.
Split the ball into 4 pieces and place on a greased baking sheet.
Crack your egg and brush it over the buns
Top the buns with the remainder of your cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
