Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups of gluten-free flour blend (you can use 1 cup teff flour and 1 cup sorghum flour) see note
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 2 tsp guar gum
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Note: For best results, use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder. You can also make your own gluten-free flour blend by combining, in ratios, any combination of rice flour, sorghum flour or buckwheat flour. It is crucial to measure the ingredients as precisely as possible for the best outcome.
The Recipe How-To
Step 1: Make the Yeast Mixture
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp of honey with 1 tsp of sugar and 1 package of active dry yeast. Pour in ½ cup of warm water and stir gently until the yeast mixture becomes creamy. Set aside for about 5 minutes or until the yeast is bloomed.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of your gluten-free flour blend, 2 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of psyllium husk powder. You can use store-bought gluten-free flour blend or make your own by mixing sorghum flour, tapioca starch, arrowroot flour, potato starch, and cornstarch in equal parts. Mix well.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add in the yeast mixture together with 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar, 2 large eggs, and ¼ cup melted butter (or olive oil for vegan option). Mix thoroughly until you get a uniform dough.
For Vegans: You may use olive oil instead of melted butter.
Step 4: Let It Rise
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 5: Form Dough into Buns
Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead it for just about 2 minutes to create a uniform texture. Use your hands to shape them into buns. This recipe yields around 4 burger buns so you can make adjustments accordingly.
Step 6: Rest Buns Again
Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet while making sure they are spaced apart by 2 inches. Cover the baking sheet with a towel and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
Step 7: Preheat and Bake
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush the buns with egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp of water) and sprinkle some sesame seeds or flaxseed on top. Bake them for about 14-16 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Take the buns out of the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing them open. Use them right away or store in an airtight container once they have cooled down completely.
Now, you have successfully made homemade gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns ready for your healthy burgers! Enjoy!
Substitutions and Variations
When it comes to substitutions and variations for this recipe, there are plenty of options to choose from. Whether you prefer a specific gluten-free flour, want to try out some new flavors, or need to make this recipe vegan or dairy-free, there’s a substitute that will work for you. Here are some ideas:
– Flour Blend: The original recipe calls for a blend of teff, arrowroot, cornstarch, potato starch, and tapioca starch. However, if you have a favorite gluten-free flour blend, feel free to use that instead. Just make sure it adds up to approximately 2 cups of flour.
– Psyllium Husks: Instead of guar gum or xanthan gum, you can use psyllium husk powder to help bind the buns together. Use 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk powder to replace the 1 teaspoon of guar gum.
– Flavors: Add some extra flavor to your buns by mixing in some sesame seeds or flax seed. You could also substitute apple cider vinegar for the white vinegar for a slightly different taste.
– Vegan Option: To make these buns vegan, simply replace the eggs with flax eggs (mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of warm water and let sit until gelatinous) and use melted coconut oil or vegan butter instead of the melted butter.
– Dairy-Free Option: If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, just replace the melted butter with olive oil or another neutral oil.
These substitutions and variations will allow you to customize this recipe to fit your dietary restrictions and preferences while still enjoying delicious and healthy gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns that are perfect for any burger or sandwich.
Serving and Pairing
Now that your freshly-baked gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns are ready, it’s time to pair them with some delicious toppings and sides. These burger buns are perfect for a hearty and healthy burger meal made with lean meat or vegan patties.
You can add some fresh lettuce, ripe avocado, juicy tomato slices, caramelized onions, crispy bacon bits, and tangy pickles to create the ultimate burger experience. Just add your favorite condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, or barbecue sauce to round up the flavors.
If you want to make a vegan or vegetarian version of these burgers, use plant-based proteins like black beans, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, or tofu seasoned with spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin or chili powder. They are rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats that will make you feel full and satisfied.
For a complete meal, serve them with some nutritious sides like green salads packed with veggies such as cucumber, bell peppers or carrots. You can also whip up some sweet potato fries or crispy onion rings in the oven for a healthier twist on classic fast food sides.
These multigrain hamburger buns pair perfectly with some refreshing drinks like iced tea or lemonade. They’re also great for casual BBQs or picnics when served alongside other finger foods like dairy-free dinner rolls or brioche buns.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
You can easily make these gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last up to 5 days. Alternatively, you can freeze them for up to 3 months by wrapping each bun in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer bag.
To reheat the buns, let them thaw at room temperature or defrost them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Then, you can toast them on a griddle or grill pan for a few minutes until they are warm and crispy.
If you plan to serve these buns at a party or get-together, you can make them ahead of time and keep them warm by wrapping them in foil and placing them in an oven set to warm (around 175°F). This way, your guests will have warm and freshly baked hamburger buns ready to go!
These buns also make excellent dinner rolls or sandwich bread. You can use them for any type of sandwich or burger, whether it’s a juicy beef burger, a healthy wheat burger, or a vegan burger loaded with fresh veggies. The possibilities are endless!
Tips for Perfect Results
As someone who has experimented with numerous gluten-free recipes, I’ve learned a few tips and tricks for perfecting the art of baking with gluten-free flours. Here are some helpful tips to ensure that your gluten-free multigrain hamburger buns come out as good as, if not better than, their traditional counterparts:
1. Use a flour blend: Instead of using just one type of flour, create a mixture of flours to improve the texture and flavor of your buns. I suggest using a combination of teff flour, arrowroot starch, tapioca starch, potato starch, and cornstarch as a base for your gluten-free flour blend.
2. Add psyllium husk powder or guar gum: Gluten is what gives traditional bread its elasticity and binding power. In place of gluten, add psyllium husk powder or guar gum to help give your buns structure and allow them to rise properly.
3. Let the dough rest: Gluten-free dough can be delicate and more fragile than traditional dough. Letting it rest helps activate the leavening agents and allows the dough to rise appropriately.
4. Don’t overwork the dough: Kneading gluten-free dough too much can cause it to become tough and dense. Be gentle when mixing and forming your buns and resist the urge to overwork the dough.
5. Use high-quality ingredients: Using quality ingredients such as apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, eggs, and flax seeds can make all the difference in how your buns taste.
6. Ensure your yeast is fresh: Old yeast can lead to poor rising and ultimately affect the overall quality of your buns. Use active dry yeast that isn’t past its expiration date for best results.
By following these simple tips, you’ll be well on your way to creating soft, fluffy multigrain hamburger buns that are both healthy and delicious – plus they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly!
