Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and erythritol until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Add the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the eggs and stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the unsweetened dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
With slightly damp hands, shape the dough into 12 equal-sized buns and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the buns to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the sugar-free chocolate buns plain or with a spread of natural nut butter or unsweetened jam for added flavor.
