Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Red bean paste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and psyllium husk powder.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then add the apple cider vinegar, warm water, and olive oil. Mix well.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a uniform dough forms. The dough should be moist but firm enough to shape.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Flatten each ball in the palm of your hand, creating a small well for the red bean paste.
Step 7
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of red bean paste into the center of each flattened dough piece.
Step 8
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the paste, pinching and sealing to form a bun shape.
Step 9
Place each bun seam-side down onto the prepared baking tray.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the buns are slightly golden on top.
Step 11
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
