Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, room temperature
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the melted butter, granulated erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It will be slightly sticky.
With damp hands, divide and shape the dough into 8 equal balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to form bun shapes.
In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee powder with 2 tablespoons of water until dissolved. Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the coffee mix and whisk until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the coffee cream cheese mixture over each bun, leaving a small border around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the topping is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the rich aroma and taste of coffee with each bite!
