4.5 from 164 reviews

These Blueberry Breakfast Buns are a delicious low-carb, diabetic-friendly morning treat featuring a soft almond flour dough filled with fresh blueberries and a light yoghurt filling, sweetened naturally for a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 50g skyr (1.7oz)
  • 1 small egg
  • 60g almond flour (2.1oz)
  • 1 tbsp granulated erythritol
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Filling

  • 50g yoghurt (1.7oz)
  • 6 blueberries
  • 1 tsp sugar-free maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the skyr, small egg, almond flour, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but pliable.
  2. Form the Buns: Divide the dough into approximately 6 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a small disk that can be folded around the filling.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt with the sugar-free maple syrup, stirring gently. Place a few blueberries onto each dough disk and spoon some of the yoghurt mixture on top.
  4. Assemble the Buns: Carefully fold the dough around the filling, sealing the edges to enclose the blueberry and yoghurt filling inside each bun.
  5. Bake the Buns: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the buns on a lined baking tray, spaced evenly apart. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or until the buns are golden and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a nutritious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Almond flour can be substituted with other nut flours but may alter texture.
  • Skyr adds protein and moisture, but Greek yogurt can be used as an alternative.
  • These buns are best consumed within 2 days and can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • If you want a sweeter filling, feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or use a few more drops of sugar-free syrup.
