Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin tin with 12 muffin cases.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar. Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped organic dried fruit.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup of almond milk, and 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin cases, filling each one three-quarters full.
  6. Mix 2 egg whites with 1/4 cup of coconut flour to create a thick paste and pipe an 'X' shape on each bun.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Allow the buns to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
