Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Whisk until well blended.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms; it will be slightly sticky.
Step 5
Using a spoon or your hands, form the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly to resemble traditional milk buns.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with your choice of Paleo-friendly spread.
