Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups super-fine blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol or monk fruit blend
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol or brown sugar substitute
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and erythritol.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and almond milk.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the filling ingredients into a paste. Spread evenly over the dough.
  7. Carefully roll the dough into a log, then cut into 8 equal pieces.
  8. Place rolls into the prepared dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden.
  9. Meanwhile, beat the glaze ingredients together until smooth.
  10. Let the buns cool slightly, then drizzle with cream cheese glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Let the dough rest to allow the flours to hydrate fully.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking when rolling the dough.
  • These buns can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the microwave.
