Coffee Caramel Coconut Flower Buns
Advertisement
My second entry for the Belly nirvana campaign in association with placeoforigin.in. The second product that was provided to me was Leo coffee breakfast blend. I have made whole wheat coffee caramel coconut flower buns a delicious and healthy snack or could also serve as a quick breakfast. The buns are super soft and the flavors of coffee and coconut along with the caramel has blended so well. Roasted Peanuts in filling gives a nice crunch in every bite. The main flavor here is provided by the coffee. The coffee is really strong and highly aromatic. The flower shape of the bun makes this very appealing and it's pretty easy to make too with step by step pictures provided in the method.
