These Gluten Free Burger Buns are super quick to prepare, light and perfect for all your sandwich needs. A one bowl recipe ready in under 30 minutes. Gluten Free, Easy.
Burger buns which are so simple to prepare, great for all your veggie burgers & even tasty for breakfast sandwiches. Now what more can you ask for! 
And one of my other favorite ways to serve these besides veggie burgers is topped with a fried egg, swiss cheese and avocado….
Omgosh…. so good. We pretty much eat this for weekend brunch on a regular basis.
Plus since the store bought brands of gluten free buns are usually pretty pricey & lack the flavor I was searching for…..
Hence I knew it was time to create my own burger buns.
But I must tell ya it took me four or five attempts 
to get these right…
And even though the hubby enjoyed eating all the less then perfect ones I wanted to be sure they’d be share worthy before posting to the blog.
Tips to achieve the BEST BURGER BUNS…..
- Take your eggs out of the fridge prior to starting since you’ll get better results with room temperature eggs
- If you forget you can always put them in a bowl of warm water to bring to room temperature
- Make sure to measure the flour correctly…
- Too little or too much will change how the buns turn out
- And very important that you let the milk, olive oil and salt just come to a rolling boil
- Don’t BOIL it, so you need to watch this process very carefully as it doesn’t take long
- If the mixture does seem a little too dry you can always add a few drops of water a little at at time
- Follow the recipe directions EXACTLY for optimal results
- The dough should be slightly sticky but not runny
Tools to help you make these Gluten Free Burger Buns:
Burger Bun Pan– I highly recommended this pan. I can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve made sooo many buns in this pan and it makes the process much easier.
Plus it also helps the buns hold their shape… I tried various other methods like egg rings, etc….
But this pan just made the whole process stress free.
How to store these Gluten Free Burger Buns:
You can keep them in the fridge in a zip lock bag or freeze them for longer storage.
Personally I like to freeze them in a large sealed bag and just pull them out when needed.

Notes
Nutrition
Is there a way to make these without cheese? I am gluten free and lactose intolerant so finding a recipe that works for both is difficult. Thanks
I can’t say for sure since I haven’t tested the recipe without cheese. You could always try substituting with a dairy free cheese. Let me know if you give it a try!
Mine caved in any reason why?
Hi Nancy, there can be various factors as to Why they caved in. Did you follow all the recipe tips in the post? What was the consistency of the dough when you baked them? I’ve actually had that happen before as well, but they still tasted delicious.. Let me know if I can help you troubleshoot further.
This recipe has made me so happy. Using it as regular bread for sandwiches since I can’t find a grain and nut free recipe that doesn’t taste miserable. I didn’t have a bun pan so I molded some heavy duty foil – worked awesome! Making more today to use for egg sandwiches 🙂 Thank you!!!
Yay! ❤️ You’re welcome and Thanks for the tip about using foil for those that don’t have a pan.
I have a dairy allergy, can the cheese be eliminated or substituted?
Hi Donna, I haven’t personally tested it without the cheese so I can’t say for sure. You could either substitute it with a dairy free cheese or try leaving it out all together. Let me know if you try it and how it works out for you.
Yay, I can have a hamburgers this summer with GF buns! Thank you for sharing this! If there’s one thing I miss going GF is big juicy burger in a bun! 🙂
These buns look perfect. And I love that they are gluten free. Lately I avoid eating grains as much as I can because of the gluten (seams it hurts my tummy) so regular buns are unfortunately taken off my food list. This recipe came just in the right time. I have unused tapioca flour. Can’t wait to make these cuties for breakfast.
I love how easy these are! Now I can make delicious buns for my gluten-avoiding friends!
What a great option for people with gluten allergies. They look so fluffy inside too!
This is perfect, a gluten-free option for burgers instead of just wrapping in lettuce! Thanks!
I love how easy and flavorful these were – family approved! Thank you!
This recipe is SO helpful! I like to eat gluten free and buying gluten free bread can be so expensive!
I hope this recipe helps you Stephanie! It’s definitely hard to find good gluten free bread that isn’t super expensive but these are so much more economical to make and REALLY good!
These buns sound easy enough and homemade is always best!
I love making burgers and there’s no better to make them than with your own homemade burger bun! This looks so good! I’m saving this for later!
Thanks Shanika! And they really are super EASY to make 🙂
Can’t wait to try! Would never have guessed these rolls were gluten free!
So super excited about this recipe! It is so hard to find good gluten free buns, I am so happy to be able to make mine own at home!
Yes Cindy it definitely is hard to find good GF buns. My whole motivation for this recipe. Hope you Enjoy them 🙂
I’ve never thought about making homemade buns but I bet these are delicious! Can’t wait to try!
