Hot Cross Chocolate Bun

Traditional hot cross bun recipes contain over 5 teaspoons of sugar per bun! I have managed to reduce this less than 1/2 teaspoon per serve so you can enjoy the taste without the sugar slump! These nutrient dense buns will be a crowd pleaser for your family! I recommend serving these hot with some grass-fed butter.
