Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.25 cup erythritol or another low carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, ground cardamom, and sea salt. Mix them well using a whisk to break apart any lumps.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you get a soft dough.
Step 5
Scoop up portions of the dough to form 10 equal sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Step 6
Gently flatten each ball slightly to form a round bun shape.
Step 7
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top of each bun for a delightful fragrance and flavor (optional).
Step 8
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 9
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
