Ingredients

• 240 grams Whole wheat flour
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons Granulated stevia or erythritol
• 180 milliliters Warm almond milk (unsweetened)
• 60 milliliters Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar substitute (e.g., Swerve Brown)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar substitute (optional, for glaze)
• 2 teaspoons Water or almond milk (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated stevia or erythritol. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm almond milk. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Stir well.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Brush the melted coconut oil evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar substitute and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the oiled dough.

Step 8

Carefully roll up the dough into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal pieces.

Step 9

Place the buns into a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each one. Cover with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the cinnamon buns for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Optional: Mix the powdered sugar substitute with water or almond milk to create a glaze and drizzle it over the buns.
