Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol (or another low-carb sweetener)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened dried currants or raisins
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 12x9 inches.
Brush the remaining melted butter over the rolled-out dough.
In a small bowl, mix the erythritol with the cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts and currants evenly over the dough, pressing them lightly to adhere.
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Seal the edge by pressing gently.
Cut the log into about 9 slices using a sharp knife.
Place each slice cut side up in the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the buns to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your low-carb treat!
