Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 cups erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 5 large eggs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, and salt.
In another bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove until just melted, not hot.
Add 3 of the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a small disc on the baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan, melt the cream cheese over low heat, stirring continuously.
Once melted, add the remaining 2 eggs and heavy cream, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency.
Remove from heat and let the custard cool slightly.
Make a small indentation in each disc of dough and spoon the custard mixture evenly into each.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low carb custard buns!
