INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This is the component that gives soft texture and healthy fats to the buns. Flour keeps the dough moist and low in carbs. Include sunflower seed flour if you are not adding almond flour.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- It absorbs the moisture and holds the dough together. You may use extra almond flour as another choice.
LOW-CARB SWEETENER:
- This sweetener gives a sweet taste without adding sugar and keeps the carbs low. You may use allulose as a substitute.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- It makes the bun lighter and softer after reacting with the baking powder. Lemon juice is a good alternative to use instead.
VEGAN CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream chees gives a smooth and creamy glaze to make the recipe taste like classic cinnamon rolls. You may use blended soaked cashews as another idea.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 350°F and put baking paper on the pan.
- Mix salt, almond flour, baking powder, coconut flour, flaxseed, and sweetener in the large bowl.
- Then add vanilla, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar to make the soft dough.
- Put the dough between 2 sheets of the baking paper and roll it into ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the vegan butter properly, then sprinkle brown monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon on the dough.
- Make a log by rolling the dough and slice it into 8 equal buns.
- Include the buns in the pan to bake for twenty-five minutes, then cool them for 10 minutes.
- Mix the glaze components to make a smooth mixture and spread it on the buns.
