Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (grain-free)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 units Eggs (large)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cups Zucchini (grated and squeezed dry)
• 0.5 cups Carrot (grated and squeezed dry)
• 1 tablespoons Sprinkle of sesame seeds or poppy seeds (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 mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then add the melted coconut oil and apple cider vinegar, stirring until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing as you go to form a dough. The dough should be moist but firm and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold the grated zucchini and carrot into the dough until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place the buns on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle the tops with sesame or poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the buns warm or at room temperature. These buns are great for holding veggies, as a side for soups, or just as a standalone snack.
