Serves: 6
Hot Cross Buns
Ingredients:
- 57g coconut flour
- 72g almond flour
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon mixed spice
- 2 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 50 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Atkins Endulge Crispy Milk Chocolate Bar
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 175° and line a flat baking tray with greaseproof paper.
- Sieve the almond flour and coconut flour into a mixing bowl and add the baking soda, salt, spices and grated orange peel.
- Add the eggs and almond milk and mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 even parts or 6 to make larger buns.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into balls. Place the balls of mixture onto the lined baking tray and squash down gently to flatten the base of each ball.
- Using a knife, carve a cross about half cm deep, in the top of each bun. Place slivers of the chocolate into the carved lines to create chocolate crosses. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a bun comes out clean.
- Optional: To make chocolate hot cross buns, shave the second half of the Atkins Endulge Crispy Milk Chocolate Bar and stir through the mixture before creating balls.
