Sweet Potato Buns (Grain Free/Nut Free) are a hidden gem on this blog that get rave reviews but often disappear amongst Instant Pot recipes and other goodies!
Truth be told, I have been living without buns for so long now that I am past the mourning period. I mean sure, it really stunk for a long time but then I realized how bloaty and gross most bread-stuff made me, even the gluten free varieties. So I put on my big girl pants and adapted to my non-bun lifestyle.
And really for the most part I am ok with it. I get to avoid feeling grody and weighed down afterwards. And bonus alert: I get to keep my pants buttoned. Those around me seem to appreciate that. Anyway, there are times that the idea of a bun creeps into my head and I also realized that there are many people who have not gotten over the absence of the bread.
So for you my friends, I know your loss well and I empathize. This bun is a little crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. It holds together well for sandwiches, burgers, or for eating straight out of the oven – not that I would ever do that. Ever. Nor would my kids. Swear.
