Get guys came across this recipe, seeing that its Easter soon and eating right is important during this time, I share with you Healthy Hot Crossed Buns by Theresa Cutter 💜 What’s good about them: Whole-meal spelt is often tolerated with people who have digestive issues as it has a slightly lower gluten content and higher amino acid profile then traditional wheat based flours. The beta-glucan fiber found in oats can help regulate your appetite and lower blood cholesterol. Macadamia nut and olive oils are anti-inflamatory and kind to the arteries. Cinnamon improves insulin’s efficiency, which lower and help to regulate blood sugar levels. 220g whole meal spelt or whole-wheat flour 50 g rolled oats 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon dried yeast 125 ml (1/2 cup milk) your choice of dairy, almond, rice, oat, soy 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract or 1/2 of paste 60 ml (1/4 cup) macadamia nut oil or olive oil 1 free range / organic egg, lightly beaten 80 g muscatels or raisins 50 g currants Mix the wholemeal flour, oats, cinnamon, yeast and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Warm the milk, vanilla and honey just a little until just slightly warm, then pour into the mixing bowl along with the egg and oil. Mix the dough for about 6 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Add the dried fruits and mix through. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth or glad wrap and leave the dough to double in size in a warm place for about 1 hour. Knock back the dough and tip in onto your working bench. Kneed a little then shape into 10 rolls. Cover lightly and allow to rise for another 30 minutes or until double in size. Preheat your oven to 160 C. Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Cool then if you like pipe a cross made from either white or dark chocolate on top. Enjoy.
