Healthy Hot Cross Buns | FREE RECIPE
Mar 30, 2021

Healthy Hot Cross Buns | FREE RECIPE

Deliciously spiced and made with wholemeal flour, this is my healthy, homemade hot cross bun recipe that I make every Easter!

I love using spices to enhance the flavours of dishes we make at home - sweet AND savoury. This is my modern twist on an old time classic. 

I don't think the 'treats' we enjoy during celebratory times of the year should necessarily be associated with bad eating. There are so many little swaps, switches and adjustments we can make to ALL the classic dishes to make them healthy, but keep them tasty and full of flavour! 

Nothing beats the smell of fruity hot cross buns straight out of the oven! 

Try out this recipe for the upcoming Easter holidays and let me know what you think!
