Healthy Recipe: Cinnamon Hot Cross Buns

There's nothing better than starting your day with something fresh out of the oven. These cinnamon hot cross buns are soft, lightly sweet, and full of warm cinnamon flavor — perfect for a cozy morning at home.

They're also a little lighter than your average baked good. Made with almond milk, coconut oil, and dried fruit, they keep the flavor but skip the extra sodium. Whether you're making brunch for friends or just want something special with your coffee, these buns are a simple way to treat yourself.

Cinnamon hot cross buns — makes 12 servings

Ingredients:• ½ cup of almond milk, unsweetened• ¼ cup of light brown sugar• ¼ oz. (1 package) of dry yeast• 1 cup of almond flour• 2 ¼ cups of white flour, plus more for dusting• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon• 1 cup of dried currants, raisins, cherries, or other berries• 4 tablespoons of coconut oil• 1 egg

Directions:

Heat almond milk on low in a small saucepan until warm to the touch, remove from heat. Stir in sugar and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Mixture should be foamy.

In a large bowl, stir together flours, cinnamon, and dried fruit. Add the yeast mixture, coconut oil, and egg. Mix using your hands until dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about a minute. Shape into a ball and place in a lightly greased large metal bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place. Let the dough rise until it doubles in volume, about two hours.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down to deflate dough and release air. Shape into 12 small buns and arrange in a 9" x 13" lightly greased baking dish. Cover loosely with a baking towel and let rise for a second time until puffed, about one hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Score a cross in the top of each bun. Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting, or skip it for a lower-calorie treat.

Handy Hint: Turning out bread dough can be tough, but it helps if you lightly dust your hands with flour as you go. It'll keep the dough from sticking and make it easier to work with.

Healthy Recipe: Apple Bread

Looking for a sweet treat that won't weigh you down? This low-fat apple bread is naturally sweetened with applesauce and fresh Granny Smith apples, making it a great choice for breakfast or a snack. It's soft, moist, and lightly spiced with cinnamon, with a crisp golden crust and a tender inside.

Apple Bread — makes 8 servings

Ingredients:• ¼ cup of sugar• ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, room temperature• ¾ cup of unsweetened applesauce• 2 eggs, large• 1 cup of white flour• 1 cup of almond flour• 1 teaspoon of baking powder• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon• ½ teaspoon of salt• 1 Granny Smith apple, medium, peeled, cored, and cut into twelfths

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan with butter or oil and line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, use a large mixing spoon to cream together sugar and butter until fully combined.

Stir the applesauce and eggs into the butter mixture until thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes. Add flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and stir until just combined. Fold the apple slices into the batter—and, if you desire, reserve a couple of slices to place on to the top of the loaf. Pour the batter into the prepared pan (and press the reserved apple slices on to the top of the cake for a pretty (and easy!) decoration). Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester in the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool completely in the pan before turning out.

Handy hint: To ensure that the apple slices don't sink all the way to the bottom, reserve a tablespoon of white flour to toss with the slices before they're folded into the batter. The flour will adhere to the batter while baking to keep the fruit from falling.
