Dough Ingredients:

  • 1C pysillum husk
  • 2C almond pulp* (leftover from making almond milk)
  • 1T cinnamon
  • 1T mixed spice
  • 1t vanilla powder
  • Juice and zest of one orange
  • 1C raisins, soaked to soften
  • 1/2C finely chopped dates
  • 1/2C flax meal
  • 1t himalayan crystal salt
  • 1C filtered water and more to make dough

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir to combine, add water and work the ingredients with your hands until you get a dough consistency. Mould into a square loaf shape and cut into buns. Transfer to a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 130°F for the first hour. Then turn down to 110°F and dehydrate for approx 6-8 hours, basting with glaze regularly.

*If you don’t have almond pulp you can use almond meal or process 1C almonds until breadcrumb like in the food processor.

Glaze Ingredients:

  • 2t fresh lemon juice
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Handful dried apricots, soaked till soft
  • 4T water
  • 3 squirts stevia

Method:

Blend until combined. Baste glaze as needed. Any leftover will keep in the fridge for a week or in the freezer.

Cross Ingredients:

  • 1C cashews soaked 1 hour
  • 1/2C filtered water
  • 2T maple syrup
  • 1t vanilla extract
  • 3 squirts stevia
  • Juice and zest of half a lemon
  • 4T coconut oil
  • pinch himalayan crystal salt

Method:

Blend all ingredients except for the coconut oil in a high speed blender. Add coconut oil and blend again. Add a little more water if needed to blend. Try not to add too much though as we want the mixture to be quite thick. Adjust to taste and pour into a container and keep in fridge for an hour or two to allow it to set a little further.

Pour into a piping bag and “ice” the hot cross buns.

Serve with extra cashew cream.

Enjoy :-)
