Are hamburger buns bad for your health?
Traditional burger buns, made primarily from refined wheat, offer little nutritional value beyond serving as a base for the burger. While they may be soft and fluffy, they can cause blood sugar spikes and lack essential nutrients.
What are the healthiest burger buns?
So what’s the best option? Opt for muffins made with whole grains, such as whole wheat or brown rice. These provide fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. You can also try almond flour or cauliflower muffins for a lower-carb alternative.

How to make healthy burger buns without maida | Green moong dal burger buns recipe:
Start by soaking the green mung dal for 6 to 7 hours until it is soft. Drain off the excess water and mix the soaked dal with water, olive oil, and salt to form a smooth paste. In a separate bowl, mix the psyllium husk, baking soda, and vinegar. Gently fold this mixture into the dal paste. Let the dough sit for 5 to 10 minutes; it will thicken due to the psyllium husk.
Using greased hands, form the dough into balls and place on a greased baking tray. Bake or air fry at 220 degrees C for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown. Allow the buns to cool completely before using for burgers.

Remember that the key to making perfect mung bean dumplings is to avoid adding too much water while mixing. The dough should be a little loose at first, but will thicken as it rests. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on the dumplings to prevent them from burning. For extra flavor, consider mixing in herbs like coriander or cumin.
Enjoy!
