Gluten Free Mini Hot Cross Buns
Our scrumptious spicy little Hot Cross Buns are gluten free and low in sugar. A perfect little snack to enjoy over the Easter period.
- 1.5 cups Almond Meal
- 1 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
- 4 tsp Mixed Spice
- 3 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1.5 cups Sultanas
- 3 small Apples (Grated)
- 6 medium Eggs (Pasture raised, organic)
- 250g Butter (Grass-fed, organic)
- 2 tsp Orange Zest (Organic)
-
Preheat Oven to 165 degrees Celsius
-
Line Muffin Trays with Large Muffin Cases (we use the ‘If You Care’ range)
-
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients – almond meal, coconut flour, sugar, mixed spice, cinnamon and baking powder.
-
Peel apples and set aside 1/2 an apple to use for cross decoration. Grate remaining 2 & 1/2 apples. Cut remaining 1/2 apple into thin sticks to use for decoration over the mini bun.
-
Melt the butter, cool slightly and add to the dry mix. Stir through.
-
Whisk eggs and add to the mix. Stir eggs through the mix
-
Add sultanas, orange zest and grated apple and mix well.
-
Mix will now form a slightly sticky dough. Roll small balls (about a golf ball size) of the mix and place into the muffin cases.
-
Place crosses made from the apple sticks over the top of each bun. Glaze if you wish – as per note below.
-
We did glaze these with a quick mix of raw organic honey, boiling water and a the juice of half an orange.
-
Serve warm with a little melted butter.
Enjoy!
