Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (Whole30-compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons ghee (or coconut oil, melted)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
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 starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Whisk until well mixed and free of lumps.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, melted ghee (or coconut oil), eggs, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky yet moldable.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands, then gently flatten the tops to create bun-like shapes.
Place the shaped dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between them as they will expand slightly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and feel firm to the touch.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the buns warm or at room temperature as sandwich bases, dinner rolls, or alongside your favorite Whole30-approved dishes.
