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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the Buns: Carefully fold the dough around the filling, sealing the edges to enclose the blueberry and yoghurt filling inside each bun.
- 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.
- 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.
