What kind of flour works best in this paleo hamburger buns recipe?

The combo of almond flour, tapioca flour, and flaxseed meal really hits the sweet spot. Almond flour adds moisture, tapioca gives you that soft chew, and flax helps bind it all together without grains or gums.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Definitely. These buns freeze like a dream. Just let them cool completely, then toss them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge and warm them up in a toaster oven. Still soft, still delicious.

Do they taste like regular hamburger buns?

Not exactly, but they’re close enough that nobody’s going to miss the store-bought stuff. They’re soft, slightly chewy, and hold up like real buns. Most folks won’t even realize they’re paleo unless you tell them.

Can I skip the honey to make them Whole30?

You can. The honey is optional in this paleo hamburger buns recipe. If you're doing a strict Whole30, just leave it out and make sure your baking powder is compliant. The texture stays great, and the flavor is still solid without the sweetness.
