Hello!
I am very excited to share this recipe! I know every vegan out there loves burger! Me, myself also has been craving fast food burger lately so I though, why not making one at home?
Burger buns in a normal fast food chains mostly contains dairy products like butter, eggs or milk. So I experimented on how to create buns without these products.
I ended up finding out that Chia seeds can be used as an egg substitute in baking.
Most of the people doesn’t actually know that this Chia seeds exist. I, myself actually knew about this just about two years ago when I worked in a hotel where we served this as one of the toppings in our salad corner. I asked my Chef what is it and when he told me its a Chia seeds, I suddenly got curious and pull out my phone out of my pocket and searched for it right away. And yes, I found out that Chia Seeds is one of the most nutritious food in our planet. Its a super food that contains numerous nutrients and health benefits.
It is high in fiber which helps to improve our digestive health, high Omega-3 for our brain and is high in antioxidant. This is why this burger buns are super buns too! 🙂
