This post has been updated since it’s original publish date because I received a lot of feedback that the buns were too small! I have doubled the recipe to create 4 larger keto hot dog buns. If you liked the smaller hot dogs, this recipe can either be cut in half, or left as is and make 8 hot dog buns instead of just 4.

Well, we are just diving into weenie roast season, which happens to be one of my favourites. Zoey completely loses her mind with excitement whenever I say we are having a weenie roast for dinner!

With less than 20 minutes we get hot dogs that are gluten free. I Get asked all the time by newbie Keto dieters “is hot dogs healthy?”, not all the time but if you choose the right package and use these buns, yes! These Hot dogs are healthy.

How to make Keto Hot Dog Buns

These wiener huggers take no time to create, so you can enjoy hot dogs to their full potential in 20 minutes from start to finish.

First things first, you’ll want to turn the oven on to 375 °.

Now grab a medium sized microwaveable bowl and add almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, onion powder and sea salt. Give the mix a stir, then toss in the shredded mozzarella. Top with a tbsp of butter then microwave for 45 seconds.

Bowl with almond flour, mozza and butter.

Mix with a wooden spoon, microwave for an additional 30 seconds, then mix again. By now the mozza should be fully melted. If not? Microwave in 10 second increments until it is.

Crack the egg into a small dish and whisk well. Remove 1 tbsp of the egg and set aside, then pour the remaining egg into the almond flour / cheese. Fold the egg in gently using a wooden spoon until fully combined. Gently fold in the vinegar.

The keto hot dog bun dough all ready to be rolled into logs.

Dump the dough onto a non stick baking mat lined baking sheet and form into a log, working with it gently so that the dough does not lose its volume. Divide the dough into four sections, then gently roll each section into a long log. Space the logs evenly around the baking sheet, then brush the set aside egg over top of each log.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Let sit for a few minutes to cool. Voilla! These hot dogs are healthy and delicious!

Expert Tips

  1. Make sure the mozzarella is fully melted before adding in the egg and vinegar.
  2. Be sure to work gently with this dough. If it is over mixed, you could get breadsticks instead of hot dog buns. The vinegar interacts with the baking powder to create volume, which would be crushed if it was kneaded too hard.
  3. This recipe is designed to create 4 large hot dog buns. If you prefer smaller buns, divide the dough into 6 or 8 logs.
  4. When shaping the buns, roll each log out until it is the length of a hot dog.

What low carb side dishes go with hot dogs?

It’s often we don’t add side dishes to weenie roast night, just a pile of dogs and sauce options while the children’s laughter rings through the air. For all the other times I really like to pair hot dogs with salad. Here are a few of my favourites:

Feel like something chippy? Chips go SO WELL with hot dogs for some reason… I love these Baked Tortilla Chips which I make with low carb tortillas.. they are so easy and fast to whip up, they can even be baked while making these Keto Hot Dog Buns! 😜

How to store Keto Hot Dog Buns

These buns are best if eaten within the day, but can be kept in the refrigerator for about a week.

I like to freeze any leftovers right after we eat to reserve their freshness. Simply toss the buns into a freezer safe ziploc bag and freeze for 4-6 months! They thaw in no time, so you can just pull them out of the freezer a little while before you make your next round of hot dogs.

Frequently asked questions

Can you eat hot dogs on the keto diet?

100%! Depending on your own variation of the keto diet, you’ll want to be careful which variety you buy. Strict keto is all about unprocessed foods so look for a natural hot dog without all the extra garbage you find in cheap hot dogs.

Personally, I don’t like to feed my kids anything processed, so am always spending the extra $ on natural hot dogs.

How many net carbs are in a hot dog bun?

A typical white hot dog bun has 24 g net carbs. Yowza, that’s a lot, hey? One of these Keto Hot Dog Buns? 4 g net carbs!

Is ketchup Keto friendly?

That completely depends on the ketchup you buy. Most ketchup is basically made from sugar. It’s crazy the amount that is used to make this delicious sauce… no wonder it’s so good, right?

There are brands that make ‘no sugar added’ ketchup like Heinz or Primal Kitchen that totally work for the keto diet, though you still have to be careful how much you eat. Alternately you can try and make your own! Check out this recipe from Sugar Free Londoner.

      Can you freeze them?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Barbara! Yes you can, I recommend freezing them before you slice them. They can be tossed into a freezer safe ziploc for storage and don’t take long to thaw 🙂

      Absolutely love this! I usually opt out of a bun bc of the added calories. But these are perfect! Thanks for sharing!

      1. Aleta says:

        Thanks Leslie! I hope you love them 🙂

      2. Dawn says:

        I’m wondering if anyone has made these. Every comment is on how great they look. PLEASE someone who’s made them comment. So often low carb bread is tough or dry.

        1. Aleta says:

          Hey Dawn! Have you had the fathead dough before? These buns are made from roughly the same dough, to give you an idea 🙂

        2. Darcie Curley says:

          They were absolutely delicious, I just made them 10 min ago. Definitely a keeper recipe!

        3. Mari says:

          Just made these an hour ago for dinner. They are great. They give the impression as if they are going to crumble but I was so pleasantly surprised that they hold extreemely well after I sliced and cold them off a bit. Mine werre slightly salty but I attribute that to me substituting mozarella for monterrey jack. I also missed adding the butter but they still turned out great. They are NOT dry or tough. Just the right amount of elasticity, hold and texture is reminds me of english muffins to give you an idea. Definitely you just need to make them to know if you will like or not but I certainly recommend.

    6. 5 stars

      Your post is packed with such great info! I have wanted to try out keto for a while, and I never even though of checking whether the condiments were keto as well!

      1. Aleta says:

        It’s crazy how much sugar is in certain condiments! I’m glad you found this post helpful, thanks Cathleen 🙂

    15. Tom says:

      Everyone is talking about how good they look and delicious they sound. Has anyone ACTUALLY made them and tried them? If so what’s your opinion?

      1. Darcie Curley says:

        5 stars
        I just made this recipe, and it’s definitely a Keto Keeper. Excellent crumb, sliced and held together very well, delicious smell, easy to make, no weird ingredients or extra steps like beating egg whites, only messed up one small bowl since I don’t often pre-beat eggs beforehand as a long-time cook. Cooked in my gas oven at 375 for the 12 min to a nice golden brown and husband really liked. Be warned that they are quite thin as many Keto breads are, but because they hold together so well, they also sliced and served easily. Definitely a hit with me.

      2. CathyB says:

        5 stars
        This was the best keto bake item we’ve ever baked and we have done a few that were pretty good. We would almost prefer these buns to the normal “boring” hot dog buns.

        1. Aleta says:

          Hey Cathy! I am so glad to hear how much you loved these hot dog buns! Thanks for the comment 🙂

      3. Melanie says:

        5 stars
        I make these every few weeks when we have hot dog night. I love them, I replace 1/4 cup almond flour with ground golden flaxseed, I prefer the texture of it that way but first made it following the recipe exactly. They are more dense than traditional buns, but taste like wheat bread. Hope this helps!

    16. Anne says:

      Heyas! So, like, do these taste cheesy? I am just wondering because that’d be cool for like keto chilli dogs, but not my favorite for the classic german bratt with mustard. Thanks.

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Anne! These do taste a bit cheesy but I think they are still an excellent choice for german bratt with mustard!

    17. Deborah says:

      I made these today,they didn’t rise or flatten out like yours,don’t know if i can get a hotdog inside,they seem a little doughy, cooked them 14 minutes. they are pretty though.

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Deborah! That is so interesting that they did not rise or flatten out, perhaps your baking powder is old? If it is, that would most likely be the cause. Hope that helps!

      2. Dom says:

        3 stars
        Tried today and same thing..all new ingredients, didn’t flatten or rise. Basically made big bread sticks. Disappointed, hot dog but no bun for dinner. I’ve given 3 stars just in case I did something wrong but followed concisely.

        1. Aleta says:

          Hey Deborah and Dom, I have solved the mystery! If the dough is over worked, the buns will not rise and spread! I have changed the recipe instructions to make sure this doesn’t happen again 🙂

    18. Rick Neese says:

      2 stars
      I followed the recipe to a tee. They did not rise and made bread sticks. All ingredients was fresh just bought. Very disappointed in this recipe for hot dog buns.

      1. Aleta says:

        Hi Rick, I am sorry you have had this experience, and have had two other people share they had the same thing. I am trying to figure out what went wrong because I have personally made them myself countless times as well as many other people, and they have always turned out perfect. But I am in the process of trying to recreate the issue so that I can see what is going wrong with the failed attempts. I hope to figure this out soon!

      2. Aleta says:

        Hey Rick! I have just figured out why this issue has happened. If the dough is over worked, the buns will not rise and spread! I have changed the recipe instructions to make sure this doesn’t happen again 🙂

      3. Willow says:

        They didn’t rise for me either and the dough was very wet. I made sure not to overmix the dough once I added the vinegar, but the cheese was melted but difficult to mix. Is it possible I overmixed trying to incorporate the melted cheese before adding the vinegar? I ended up folding them in half lengthwise while they were still warm and weighting them so they cooled into somewhat of a hotdog bun shape. Really disappointed and curious is found the reason this happens to some people?

        1. Aleta says:

          Hey Willow, that is so interesting. The cheese should have been very soft to mix once melted. I wonder if the issue was there… what type of cheese did you use? Pre packaged cheese perhaps? Was is melted all the way?

    19. Jennifer says:

      2 stars
      I am not sure what I did wrong, but the dough cane out the consistency of a bowl of cheese grits. It was so sticky and wet I couldn’t get it off of the parchment paper. It was not dough-like at all. The only change was that I used sharp cheddar instead of mozzarella. I’ve en tried to add another 1/2 cup of almond flour, but it didn’t work. I really want this to work.,. Please help!

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Jennifer, unfortunately cheddar cannot be swapped out for mozzarella. You need the mozza to make this dough work! Please try it with mozza instead of cheddar and let me know how they turn out! 🙂

      Thank you for trying the hot dog bun recipe again with mozzarella, I am happy to hear they turned out great this time!

    22. Gail C says:

      Can these be made in the late morning and then eaten at suppertime or is it better to make them just before eating?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Gail! You can absolutely make them earlier in the day, however, they are at their best when they are as fresh as possible 🙂

    23. Gail C says:

      Thank you for your quick response and for sharing your recipe.

      These are pretty good! I don’t use microwaves and I was still able to get them to turn out well by melting the cheese on the stove in a pot.

    26. Duane says:

      When I made these the dough was really wet, not at all like it looked in pictures and video. After the bake they tasted very eggy. Should there be 2 large eggs or is it just 1? I ask as prior to the recipe you mention egg as singular. Just trying to figure out why mine were so wet and came out tasting and smelling like eggs.

      Thank you

      1. Aleta says:

        Hi Duane! It is supposed to be 2 eggs, whisked, with 1 tbsp removed for the egg wash prior to baking. The dough should not have been wet though, and I do not find the buns have an eggy flavour. I wonder if the eggs you used were XL? Maybe give it a try with slightly smaller eggs? Were you able to shape the dough into buns at all?

    27. ivonne says:

      Hello,
      I was wondering if we can substitute Parmesan cheese and just use mozzarella cheese all around or if cheese can be avoided?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hi Ivonne, you could certainly skip the parmesan, use all mozzarella, but the cheese cannot be avoided altogether.

    28. Jill says:

      These are in the oven now. They seemed really sticky when rolling them out, making it hard to get into a log shape for the hot dogs. Is this the way it should feel? Thanks!

      1. Aleta says:

        Hi Jill! Yes they are a little sticky but should be able to be formed into a log without trouble. How did they turn out?

    29. Melanie says:

      5 stars
      These are great! I replaced 1/4 cup of the almond flour with ground flaxseed the second time I made them and they were amazing! My husband love the way they taste with chili on the hot dog!

      1. Aleta says:

        So glad you loved them, Melanie! What great ideas, I’ll try the flaxseed next time I make dogs and yummmm I also love chili dogs!

    30. Lynn says:

      I’m thinking this recipe could be used for hamburger buns as well? Just shape them into a round bun instead of a log.

      1. Aleta says:

        You bet Lynn 🙂

    31. Joann says:

      Can you tell me the calorie count and carb count?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Joann, all of the nutrition information is at the bottom of the recipe card 🙂 Per bun there are 350 calories, 7 g total carbs, 4 g net carbs. Nutrition facts are an estimate only because the ingredients you choose could have different nutritional values than the ingredients I have used.

    32. Catalina Arango Vinasco says:

      Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white?

      1. Aleta says:

        That should work, though I have never tried it myself. If the buns do not rise while baking, that could be the reason.

        I used ACV because that’s what I had on hand, came out just fine with it.

      3. Jan says:

        Does it have to be a wooden spoon? I don’t have one, but I have a metal danish whisk, runner spatula or other items. HELP!!

        1. Aleta says:

          Hey Jan! I prefer a wooden spoon but anything would work – go with the spatula ☺️

      This was the absolute worse recipe. Do not waste you money in the ingredients or your time!!!!

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Carolyn,
        Something must have gone terribly wrong if you think this was the ‘absolute worst recipe’. Did they buns not rise? Did you not like the flavour? Let’s get down to the bottom of this.

    34. Carlo says:

      Hi Aleta, Im allergic to eggs so I was wondering if you could make it without them? What would you substitute it with?
      Thank you!!

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Carlo!
        That is a very unfortunate allergy! Although I have never tried replacing the eggs in this recipe, there are a few ways that eggs can typically be replaced in baking. Here is a link you can check out to find which one you would prefer! I am not sure they would work, though I hope that you have luck!

      My family love this recipe. Being diabetic I’m always looking for a lower carb option on the breads and this really went well with our brats on Memorial Day.

      I LOVE this recipe!!!
      I was craving for some type of bread during my keto diet and this is my favorite option by far!
      I made small buns like “chipa” (from South America) and worked great. Worked as a snack too! And, also, for any type of sliders! DELICIOUS! Thank you!!

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Mariann, I am so glad you love these buns so much! Yes, there are so many possible ways to shape them, for hot dogs, burgers, and little buns as well! Thanks for the comment 🙂

      The taste was good… very good. I sprinkled everything but the bagel seasoning on one just for fun. My only problem is that they were very crumbly. Did I need to microwave the mozzarella more? It was also pretty wet to work with.

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Elizabeth! I am glad you liked the taste, adding the everything bagel seasoning is a great idea! Was the mozzarella fully melted before mixing in the egg? The mixture should not be very wet and the hot dog buns should not be super crumbly.

    38. Jean Rose says:

      I was wondering if they freeze well , I would like to take them in the camper already to go instead of having to make them while I am traveling. What do you think ?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Jean, you can absolutely freeze these buns! I hope you enjoy 🙂

    39. Sabrina says:

      Hello. This is a great recipe that I have made twice. The only issue that I have had both times is that my dough is sticky when I try to roll it. I ended up spooning out the dough and forming it that way but I’m wondering what I did wrong.

        Hi Sabrina! Glad you like the buns ☺️
        I have had a couple other people say the same thing. I am wondering if it is either the type of cheese used or perhaps too much egg is going into the dough… maybe next time try to leave out a little bit more egg than the 1 tbsp?

    40. Jean Rose says:

      I have made these twice and they are really wet when I mix in the eggs . Am I doing this wrong ? Should I be using only 1 egg ? I need help

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Jean, I have heard of other people having issues with the wetness, though it’s not an issue for myself and others. You could certainly try using just one egg instead of the two. Let me know how they turn out if you do 🙂

        This is the worst recipe ever and the smell of onion and garlic powder with the parmesan cheese in the mix is very unpleasant. I followed this recipe properly and it was a waste of my time and ingredients.

        1. Aleta says:

          Do you not like onion and garlic? You could leave them out if you find them so horrible. What else was so wrong with this recipe for you to claim it’s the worst recipe ever? Let’s get down to the bottom of this!

    41. Ashley Tilot says:

      Should I use grated or shredded parmesan cheese?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Ashley! I usually use the shelf stable shaker parmesan in these buns 🙂

    42. Alla says:

      Do you have any suggestions for those who don’t have a microwave?

      Thanks

      1. Aleta says:

        Yes! Although I have never tried it myself, I have had someone comment that they melted the cheese on the stove and it worked fine! I believe they had said they made the recipe right up until it should be microwaved, and instead heated it on the stove until just melted. Let me know if it works for you!

      Yeah, I’m not sure what you did, but this recipe did not work for me. I never got it into a ball like I have with other bread recipes. I tried it twice, and I wasted expensive ingredients on it. This one was a big L.

      1. Aleta says:

        I’m sorry to hear that Destiny, I wish I knew what went wrong!

    44. Ken says:

      I made these to the recipe and they came out great.. except they were flattened out. They were too thin while slicing them in half. Any thoughts?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hi Ken, these do tend to spread out while baking and can be fairly thin, but they should be thick enough to be able to slice in half. Here are a couple of things to check:
        1. Did you shape them into a round log for baking? Or into a hot dog bun shape? They need to be in a log to allow for the spreading.
        2. How fresh is your baking powder?
        3. Be sure not to over mix after the vinegar has been added, it needs to be gently folded in. The reaction between the vinegar and baking powder causes the buns to rise, so if it is over mixed, the reaction won’t work.
        Hope that helps!

      I totally goofed up the first batch. I over mixed the dough, but I did it again with a lighter, softer touch & by golly, I have hot dog buns. Thank you for the recipe.

      1. Aleta says:

        I am so glad to hear they turned out Samantha!

    46. Agus says:

      Could you please share the weight of the ingredients?

      Thanks

      1. Aleta says:

        I didn’t weigh the ingredients when I made this recipe, but next time I make them I will 🙂

    47. Jennifer Hughes says:

      Making the cheese melt without the microwave (quite a bit of effort) is obnoxiously exacerbated with a bunch of almond flour in the way. Super recommend any non-micro users wait to add the flour till the cheese is melted. And it’s pretty blasted Sticky dough so oil hands (unless I missed that in the bloooooog, would be nice note near recipe). Yummy still 🙂

      1. Aleta says:

        Glad they turned out for you Jennifer 🙂

      It turned out great! Easy to follow and simple than I think… thank you for sharing this!

      1. Aleta says:

        So glad they turned out well for you Jimmy 🙂

      I’ve made these twice and my son loves them. Not only for hot dogs during major league baseball season (GO DODGERS!) but great for any other savory sandwiches too. I thought about trying other recipes just to compare but he doesn’t want me to….just loves these. Super easy to make too!

      1. Aleta says:

        That’s so awesome, I am SO glad to hear he loves them so much! I also love how easy they are to make – hot dogs should be easy!

    50. Loretta says:

      They turned out okay. They were a little flat and sort of heavy, what do I do wrong?How do you store them?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Loretta, I find if the dough is mixed too much after the vinegar has been added, they can turn out flatter. They should be stored in the fridge 🙂

    51. Terran says:

      Mine came out kind of soggy on the inside. Are there any ways around that? Or maybe I did something drastically wrong?

      1. Aleta says:

        Hey Terran, they should not have come out soggy. I am guessing they needed a little more time in the oven.

    52. Aleta says:

      Hey Rosy! This dough can be a little sticky, though I would say the buns aren’t usually crumbly after they have been baked. I am not sure why they would be crumbly.. wish I could be more help!

    53. Aleta says:

      I’m so glad you enjoyed them Chelsea!

      I really loved this recipe. I have tried some other keto bread and don’t really care for them. This one is a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe!

      1. Aleta says:

        I’m so glad you love it Kelly!!

      Does it work to mix the vinegar with the egg before adding to the cheese/almond-flour mixture? It seems to me that that would reduce the overall mixing needed. I haven’t tried the recipe yet, so the 5 stars is a hopeful guess. 🙂

      Turned out to be some kick butt philly cheesesteak buns… I loved them I’ll be doing these with everything I can think of!

      1. Aleta says:

        I am so glad they worked out so well for you! Philly cheesesteaks on these sound delicious!

    57. Che H says:

      HOW to do with no microwave; please POST! Double boiler? Metal bowl over simmering water? Please advise thanks!

      1. Aleta says:

        Although I have never tried it myself, other people have told me that the mixture can be melted together using a non stick skillet, though I would imagine a metal bowl over simmering water would works the best.

      So good ! I’ve made them 4 times. Once as directed. Once as directed with onion and garlic and made little buns. Twice as cinnamon scones with pecans. OMGOSH, delicious ! I added a 1/2 powered swerve, 2 t. Cinnamon, 2t. Vanilla and a cups of nuts, no garlic or onion . Made little buns . Then frosted with cream cheese/butter/swerve frosting The best! The best recipe for little buns, the baking powder/soda/vinegar is key !

      1. Aleta says:

        Oh my goodness your cinnamon bun idea is brilliant! So glad you like this recipe so much. And yes, the vinegar trick is the best way to get that volume with almond flour

    59. Angelina says:

      Hi Aleta! Delicious! I made it once, half of recipe with added psyllium husk powder. Came out perfect and tasted so good, my non keto family loved it. Just wondering if it works as a full loaf, instead of individual buns. Anyone tried? Thank you !

      1. Aleta says:

        I’m so glad you liked them Angelina – good idea with the psyllium husk. I have not tried it yet with a full loaf, but definitely something I’d like to experiment with in the future 🙂

    60. Delia Karis says:

      Hey Alta, just wanted to thank you for the recipe , me and my hubby just tried and love the buns! Super Yummy!

      I made the recipe cut it on four and shaped somewhat like a hotdog bun . It was sticky dough so I just basically shaped by pushing on sides to make the shapes . It tasted great , was fluffier than most almond flour dough and easy to make . Thank you

    62. Jay says:

      Great recipe! I tried it and even though I messed up it was very good. The looked like extra large versions of the cheddar biscuits from Red Lobster, lol. The only downside besides the looks(:p), was that the bread had a bit of nutty taste to it. Does anyone have tips on how to cover/overpower the nuttiness? The family doesn’t like the taste any nut ranging from almond to peanut but we have diabetics and this was a godsend. I don’t know if the nut taste was due to the brand of the almond flour or if I messed up on more steps than I realized. Thanks for any help!

      This is one of those meals that I get up in the morning and make, and it takes care of my work day, and I love it. lol
