Cauliflower & Honey Steamed Buns Made with Almond Flour (Paleo)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Gluten-Free
Paleo-Friendly

These cauliflower & honey steamed buns are chewy, sweet, and taste amazing! Naturally gluten-free and paleo-friendly, you won't believe the main ingredients for these delicious rolls are actually almond flour, coconut flour, cauliflower rice and honey.

Ingredients Used to Make This

**I've linked some of these ingredients to amazon.com to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. The price will be the same for you, link or no link 🙂

  • Almond flour – I used blanched almond flour
  • Coconut flour – Coconut flour does not substitute well, and that’s why I don’t recommend swapping coconut flour with other ingredients. If you absolutely had to, 2 Tbsp coconut flour = ½ cup almond flour. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get the same texture or mouthfeel as the original recipe.
  • Tapioca flour (or tapioca starch). Arrowroot starch and Potato starch can be used instead.
  • Eggs – I used regular large eggs
  • Salt – I used Pink Himalayan salt, but you can use any kind for this recipe. Since I use only a small amount, the conversion (between kosher and fine salt, for example) isn’t necessary.
  • Honey – You can also use maple syrup, or any granulated sugar of your choice such as coconut, maple or date sugars.
  • Cauliflower rice – they’re sold in the frozen vegetable aisle, but you can make your own by pulsing cauliflower a few times in the food processor.

    Hi Bora, I want to try making this but I don't have a steamer. Would you recommend a certain brand or type?

      I don't have a particular recommendation on the brand but I used a steamer pot where there's a separate steamer insert. But you should be able to make these buns using any kind or brand of steamer. Hope this helps!
