Notes

If you want a thicker sandwich then use two buns. One for the top and one for the bottom. If you do this then trim the bottom brown part off.
One bun is 16 grams of carbs. You can use different types of gluten free flours to lower the carb count.
Substitute garbanzo flour for almond flour: 1 serving contains about 7.6 g net carbs
Any substitutes may slightly effect the texture of the buns
