Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (grain-free)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 units Eggs (large)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups Zucchini (grated and squeezed dry)
- 0.5 cups Carrot (grated and squeezed dry)
- 1 tablespoons Sprinkle of sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then add the melted coconut oil and apple cider vinegar, stirring until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing as you go to form a dough. The dough should be moist but firm and slightly sticky.
Fold the grated zucchini and carrot into the dough until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Optional: Sprinkle the tops with sesame or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the buns warm or at room temperature. These buns are great for holding veggies, as a side for soups, or just as a standalone snack.
