Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Pineapple extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Add melted butter, erythritol sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a ball. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with pineapple extract until smooth and creamy. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly, and spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture on top of each one.
Brush the tops of each bun with melted coconut oil for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-carb pineapple bun!
