Keto Peanut Burger: A Delicious Low-Carb Twist on a Classic
Ingredients for Keto Peanut Burger
- 1 lb Ground Beef (preferably 80% lean)
- 1/4 cup Natural Peanut Butter (unsweetened, smooth or chunky)
- 1 Egg (for binding)
- 1/4 cup Almond Flour
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger (optional, for extra flavor)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for cooking)
Toppings and Serving:
- Lettuce Leaves (as buns)
- Avocado Slices
- Red Onion (sliced thin)
- Sliced Cucumber or Pickles
- Extra Peanut Sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the Burger Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, peanut butter, egg, almond flour, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Form Burger Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty. Make sure the patties are slightly indented in the middle to help them cook evenly.
3. Cook the Burgers
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. Assemble the Keto Peanut Burger
Place each burger patty on a lettuce leaf and top with avocado slices, red onion, cucumber, or pickles. Drizzle with a bit of extra peanut sauce if desired.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Wrap the lettuce around the burger for a keto-friendly “bun,” and enjoy!
