Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and granulated erythritol until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer until light and frothy. Add the almond milk, crushed pineapple flavor drops, and apple cider vinegar, and mix until well combined.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Allow it to cool slightly, then slowly add it to the egg mixture while continuing to beat.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a dough forms. The dough should be thick but sticky.
Wet your hands slightly to handle the dough easily. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Smooth the tops of the buns with wet fingers to ensure they have a nice round shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these low carb Hawaiian buns fresh with your favorite toppings or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
