Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Hazelnut flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Chopped hazelnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the hazelnut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add in the melted coconut oil, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Ensure there are no lumps.
Gently fold in the chopped hazelnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Using your hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and form each into a ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each ball with your palms to give them a bun shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on the outside and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the buns to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
