Paleo bread doesn’t have to be complicated. You shouldn’t have to jump through bread baking hoops to get a decent gluten-free bun for your burger. This grilling season, ditch the lettuce wrapped burgers and make these incredibly easy Paleo Hamburger Buns instead. You can make them on the grill right next to your juicy burgers!
My hot buns are delish (sorry, can’t help myself 😂). They’re nut-free AND egg-free AND you only need 5 ingredients to make them. Mix the ingredients together, roll the dough out into little balls and flatten them out. If you make them too thick, they’ll get gooey inside so make sure they’re nice and thin.
You can cook these in a pan, in the oven, or right on your grill! Since it’s summer and most meals are made on the grill, I decided to use my grilling stone (great for cooking things like fish, veggies, anything that you don’t want falling through the grates) to make these. Cooking them directly on the grill might work too – but I haven’t tried this (leave a comment to let us know if you do try).
Now, go make some paleo hamburger buns 🙂
Ingredients
- ½ cup Golden Flaxseed Meal
- ½ cup Tapioca Flour
- 2 tbs Coconut Flour
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp Fine Sea Salt
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Grease your hands with some oil or ghee and take a rounded tablespoon worth of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Flatten it out and put it on a baking stone on the grill (if you don’t have a stone, see note below).
- Preheat the grill and stone to medium heat (250-300 degrees).
- Put the lid on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes, flip the bread over and cook other side for 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Thanks Ginette! Glad you liked the buns!
Shameen Pillay says
is it okay if my whole flaxseed meal is grounded? I can’t wait to try this. My boy loves burgers but he can’t have gluten… I hope he loves this.
Georgie says
May I ask what tapioca flour you use? Thank you! Excited to make these 🙂
Ashley - My Heart Beets says
Hi Georgie, I typically use the Bob’s Red Mill brand – hope that helps!
Ann says
These are great. I fried mine in a cast iron/enamel skillet in a bit of ghee. Yum. thanks.
My Heart Beets says
Ann, so happy to hear that you liked the hamburger buns! Thanks for letting me know how they turned out for you 🙂

Sarah says
These look awesome I can’t wait to try them! Question: what temp and how long do I cook them in the oven, and do I put them on a greased baking pan or parchment lined? I am looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!
Marissa Buonocchi says
Made these burger buns & they are yummy. Thanks for posting the recipe. I cooked mine on the stovetop & they came out well. Yum! I then made another batch & added a tbsp of honey, oh!!! amazing! I made enough & left them in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, I warmed the hamburger bun in the toaster & stovetop, both are fine & they taste good. How did you get them so round??? I tried a couple of methods but I could not get them perfectly round. I also used coconut oil to handle the hamburger buns. Thank you for this recipe.
My Heart Beets says
Marissa, glad you liked the burger buns! 🙂 I’m sure yours look great! Besides all that really matters is that they taste good 🙂
Kelly Land says
I made them yesterday. I sprayed my hands with coconut oil and made them into a ball, then when I put them on the electric griddle i used, I sprayed the ball and used my fingers to flatten them out right on the grill. These remind me so much of my FULL of gluten indian flat bread that I adore! So nice to have something I can make pretty quick and still enjoy chew bread. I added olive oil and garlic salt to both sides. These would be so good for make Gyros!! They are quite gewy on the inside, so I thought I might try my tortilla press to make them thinner… just hope they will come off without sticken to the parchment…. will have to give it a good spray:)
S says
Would regular flax meal work too? I have a bunch of it that I need to use up.
My Heart Beets says
Yes! Regular flaxmeal will work too. The only reason I use golden is so that the color looks more like that of a bun.

Tiffany says
I have a gluten free flour blend (it has a bunch of different kinds of flour) do you think that will work in place of the tapioca and coconut flour?
Katifitchick says
Can you use regular ground flaxseed meal instead of the Golden? Can’t wait to try these! I made the 3 Ingredient Naan yesterday and LOVED IT!!! 🙂
My Heart Beets says
Yes, you can 🙂 And, that’s awesome!!

Can I substitute tapioca flour for something else? I have almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed flour… I just really don’t want to have to buy tapioca flour, too!
dee says
will try making these. They look great!!
Lee says
Can’t wait to try making these! I have a question. Do they reheat or keep for a day or so? It’s just me so I can’t eat 6 of these at one time (or shouldn’t! Haha). Thanks!
Angela {Mind Over Batter} says
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I love that you can make this on the grill alongside burgers! Question – Can I use potato flour in place of tapioca?

Patti Page White says
I shared this recipe on my FB blog and someone quickly informed me that coconuts are tree nuts, therefore this is not nut free. What’s the best way to answer that?
I love your recipes…nut free or not!
My Heart Beets says
Hi Patti, first, thanks for sharing my recipe 🙂 Now to answer your question – while the FDA has labeled coconuts as tree nuts, they are actually not nuts… they are considered a drupe. I realize that can be confusing. Most people with nut allergies can tolerate coconuts but that said, I’d advise your reader to talk to their doctor if they have any concerns. After all, we’re food bloggers, not doctors!
Patti Page White says
Thank you for taking the time to give me an answer I can relay to her! Makes perfect sense to me.
Bernie says
Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit, even though the Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut.
