Paleo Hot Cross Buns + Creme Egg Spread
Reading time - 2 mins
Here at NW HQ, we are embracing the Easter vibes (and a few too many chocolate eggs!). To celebrate, we've released a limited edition Lean Dessert by Genetix Nutrition Chef Series - CHOC GOLDEN CREME FLAVOUR!
Safe to say, our kitchen stash of this new flavour has disappeared quicker than the Easter bunny can run.
What can be better than the smell of freshly baked hot cross buns, with the scent of sweet bread and warming spices like cinnamon? Taking a bite into them and finding a Choc Golden Creme centre, of course!
If you feel like baking the world a better place, whip up a fresh batch of these paleo hot cross buns and enjoy with this sweet, creamy and lean protein boost!Â
