Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.33 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Almond milk
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free dried cranberries
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Confectioners erythritol
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, ground cinnamon, and erythritol. Mix well.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk until combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
Step 5
Fold in the sugar-free dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
With lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round bun. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with confectioners erythritol until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Step 8
Pipe a cross on the top of each bun with the cream cheese mixture.
Step 9
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 10
Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
