Hot cross bun recipe
1 1/2 cups ground almond
8 Tbsp psyllium husk
3 t baking powder
1t salt
120ml olive oil
4 eggs beaten
35ml water
3t cinnamon
1t nutmeg
1t allspice
1/4-1/2 cup dried fruit of choice
I go with the less amount for the lower carb content but if ur kids like sweeter add more.
Pre heat oven at 160 degrees
Combine all ingredients in a bowl leave to sit for 10mins which makes the mix less sticky. Then roll into the bun size you would like. I mix a small amount of ground almond with water to make a paste to put a cross on the top. Place on a tray with grease proof paper. Bake in oven for 25mins.
