Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated erythritol (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and granulated erythritol (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Add the almond milk, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar, and whisk to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquid and the xanthan gum to activate.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Wet your hands lightly with water to prevent sticking, and shape each portion into a round bun. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them as they will puff up slightly during baking.
Using a sharp knife, score the tops of the buns with a shallow ‘X’ if desired, for a classic look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the buns warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze and reheat as needed.
