Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup erythritol
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips
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, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and erythritol until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy.
Step 4
Add the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the eggs and stir well until all ingredients are fully blended.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the unsweetened dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
With slightly damp hands, shape the dough into 12 equal-sized buns and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the buns to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy the sugar-free chocolate buns plain or with a spread of natural nut butter or unsweetened jam for added flavor.
