Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add erythritol sweetener and mix until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each one into a round bun. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are light golden brown and firm to the touch.
While the buns are baking, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with 20 grams of erythritol and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Once the buns are baked, let them cool on a wire rack completely.
Cut each bun horizontally and fill with whipped cream using a spoon or a piping bag.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. Best consumed within 2 days.
