Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy.
Melt the butter and cream cheese together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and form into buns, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine erythritol, pineapple extract, and yellow food coloring to create a sweet topping mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns are cooked through.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
