The Banting Blondes - Buns... Cinnamon ones!
It's all about buns today, and The Banting Blondes have come to your rescue with a sweet, low carb delight that will keep you out of the bakery, and looking awesome!
We know you like your buns, so we've made you some cinnamon, low-carb, sugar-free, grain-free, utterly delicious ones. Yes... perfection does exist!
For the buns:
• 1&3/4 cup Almond flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut flour
• 4 Tbs room temp butter (NOT melted)
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 eggs
• 4 Tbs Xylitol
• 3 Tbs Cinnamon
For the icing:
• 3 Tbs Xylitol (more or less depending on how sweet you want the icing)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Cream (place in fridge to cool and thicken)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
Method:
1. Add almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, 2 Tbs Xylitol and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix to combine.
2. In a seperate bowl, beat the eggs then mix it into the flour.
3. Add the room temperature butter and mix it into the flour and eggs well. The result should be dough like, not batter.
4. Spray two pieces of parchment paper with non stick spray and put the ball of dough in between. Press to flatten into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Remove the top piece of parchment and sprinkle the cinnamon over the dough to cover. Sprinkle the rest of the xylitol over now too.
6. Grab one long end of the parchment and start to roll the dough, using the parchment as a guide and to help repair any cracks. There will be cracks - don't stress! Just mold togther again. Don't roll too loosely.
7. Once rolled, cut 1.5 inch segments and place on a greased baking tray.
Bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes - keep an eye out to make sure they don't burn.
