Description
These soft carnivore sweet buns are light, fluffy, and naturally sweet without using sugar,
flour, or plant-based ingredients. Whipped egg whites create a soft airy crumb while heavy
cream, butter, and glycine deliver a rich, mildly sweet flavor perfect for breakfast,
dessert, or an animal-based snack.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 large egg whites (or 2/3 cup liquid egg whites)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 3 whole eggs
- 3 oz (85 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp glycine powder
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- Butter or tallow for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C).
- Grease a muffin-top pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff glossy peaks form.
- Blend the whole eggs, cream cheese, heavy cream, glycine, melted butter, and salt until smooth.
- Mix one-third of the whipped egg whites into the batter.
- Gently fold in the remaining egg whites using a spatula until fully incorporated.
- Scoop into eight even rounds and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 16–18 minutes until lightly set and pale golden.
- Cool for 5 minutes and cover loosely with a towel before serving.
Notes
Fold the whipped egg whites gently to preserve volume. Avoid overbaking, as sweet carnivore
buns dry out quickly once deeply browned. Cooling under a towel helps retain moisture and
keeps the crumb soft.
