We all love hot cross buns, but we also need to watch our carb intake whilst following a keto diet. There are many hot cross buns out there, but the traditional hot cross bun has well over 39g of carbs in them per bun & consuming a bun like this will kick you right out of your keto or low carb diet.

Well here at Justine’s we aim to make life easier for you & have done all the hard work for you, so you don’t miss out on enjoying hot cross buns this easter.

 Justine’s have come up with your new go to ketolicious cross bun that tastes great but most importantly has only 3.7 g of carbs per bun. Plus, our keto hot cross bun mix will give you a protein punch of 16.9g protein per bun! Plus, our mix is nut free & high in fibre too.

Our mix is so versatile. You can make buns with no fruits or add the optional fruits of your choice & create your super low carb protein packed hot cross bun. Perhaps you want a chocolate version too? Try adding in some of our keto choc chips into your mix to give you that chocolate festive spice taste.

Instructions

• In a cup add the warm water which should be around 55 degrees.

• Add in the honey & yeast and mix well. Set aside for a few minutes (watch it froth!)

• Grab your electric mixing bowl & with the whisk hook, whisk the eggs until frothy and then add the melted (but cooled) butter.

• Now add the yeast mixture and Justine’s Easy Keto Protein Hot Cross Bun Mix & the optional orange zest & golden berries.

• Change whisking hook to a dough hook or standard hook if you don’t have a dough hook & mix for about 5 min.

• Rest dough in the bowl for 5 minutes to firm up as this mixture is quite sticky.

• Now is the time to clean up & heat oven to 190°c.

• With slightly wet hands (a tip here is to wet one hand & rub both hands   together), scoop out the mixture on to a clean bench & roll into a big ball.   Wetting hands helps handle dough as you go.

• Divide mixture into how many rolls you want & with wet hands weigh each portion out to get 6 evenly sized buns & roll into balls.

• If you don’t want exact even size buns omit weighing & continue to wet hands if needed & roll into balls.

• We made 6 buns with no fruits added. Each bun's raw weight was 76g & 67g cooked weight.

• Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

• Bake for 25 minutes at 190 degrees till puffed up & golden brown.

• Cool on tray & when cold melt Justine’s Keto White chocolate with a touch of coconut oil & put in a piping bag & pipe your crosses!

• Serve & enjoy!

• Store any buns in an airtight container for up to a week.
