If you'd like to put 2 buns together for a fluffier burger then thinly trim off the brown bottom so you can have a soft center (see the video in this post for an example)
This recipe uses garbanzo flour therefore it is not keto friendly however you may substitute almond flour or another low carb flour of your choice. Any substitutions may effect the texture of the buns.
