Ingredients
- 1¼ cup almond flour
- ½ cup Lakanto Gold granulated sweetener
- 3 tbsp golden flax meal
- 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
- 6 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- ¾ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 7 g dry yeast sachet (optional)
- zest of one lemon
- zest of one orange
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 160C/325F and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl including the lemon and orange zest. Boil the kettle for the boiling water
- Add the egg whites and vinegar to the dry ingredients and mix with electric beaters for approximately 30 seconds to combine
- Add the boiling water to the mixture and beat for a further 30 seconds until the consistency is similar to play-doh
- Shape the dough into 6 buns and place on a baking tray. Place the buns together in the centre of the tray in two rows of three. The mixture will be sticky so it may help to wet your hands slightly when shaping them
- Bake on a lower rack in the oven for 55-65 mins. After 30 mins separate the buns from each other to ensure they cook through. When they are cooked they should sound hollow when you tap the bottom of the buns
- Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. This is important otherwise they may appear sticky inside
- Serve warm or toasted with butter and sugar-free jam
