These Hot Cross Buns are a gluten free and nutritious alternative. Good for those on a Paleo diet too. Drizzle dark chocolate crosses on top if you like.

2 organic eggs
3 cups almond meal
80g raisins/sultanas
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons raw honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder/essence
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Zest from 1 orange

Pinch of sea salt
Coconut oil (to grease baking tray)

Method:
Preheat oven to 180 C
Combine dry ingredients (almonds, baking soda, vanilla, cinnamon and salt) and mix well
Blend wet ingredients (oil, honey, orange, eggs) in food processor
Add wet ingredient to dry ingredients and mix well
Pat spoonfuls of mixture onto a greased baking tray
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden

Serve with organic butter & raw honey or homemade jam. Also delicious on their own!
