Ingredients

3/4 cup vital wheat gluten

2 1/4 cup almond flour

1/2 cup warm water

1 tsp dry active yeast

4 oz unsalted butter, melted

2 eggs

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup monkfruit sugar

5 drops stevia extract

6. Gently spread the 2 oz of the soften butter on the dough.

7. In the meanwhile, make the cinnamon filling (see below) and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar evenly on top of the butter. Not too heavy. (**You will not use all the cinnamon/sugar; save the remainder for another batch)

1/2 cup golden monkfruit sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

15 drops stevia extract
