Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Almond milk
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free dried cranberries
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Confectioners erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, ground cinnamon, and erythritol. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
Fold in the sugar-free dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
With lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round bun. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with confectioners erythritol until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Pipe a cross on the top of each bun with the cream cheese mixture.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
