Hi friends,

I know we all should eat less carbohydrates of the processed grain type:  things like bread, pasta, crackers, cereals, and of course cookies and muffins!  Easier said than done:  we all crave some of those filling carb-type foods now and again.  (once or twice a day, maybe?)

 

I ordered a grain-free cookbook recently and lo and behold, it features a few muffin/bun/biscuit recipes that really feellike they are a carbohydrate treat, but indeed, they're not.  I am going to share one with you called Dijon Buns.  They have NO flour of any kind but "feel" like bread. They can really satisfy that need for a bread-type food.  Since there is no grain flour they are gluten free as well. 

The book I've borrowed this recipe from is "Everyday Grain-Free Gourmet" and is worth ordering.  It's the 2nd book by these two women, Bager and Lass,  and their recipes truly add a gourmet touch to our efforts toward going grain-free.

 

DIJON BUNS  (4 carbs per bun!)  Simple and quick, too!

 

 

1. preheat oven to 325 and prepare a cookie sheet with coconut oil, olive oil spray, or butter

2. combine ground almonds, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix well.

3. In another bowl, combine the dill, Dijon mustard, garlic, and eggs and mix well.

4. Add the dry mixture to the egg mixture and stir until well blended.

5. Divide the dough into 12 buns and place them evenly on a prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake until the bund begin to brown, about 18 - 20 min.
