Gingerbread cardamom buns
Gingerbread cardamom buns are the perfect comforting treat for holiday season, and they are very easy to make with Ankarsrum Assistent.
-
Melt vegan butter and let cool.
-
Warm oat milk to 42 C and pour it into the Ankarsrum bowl.
-
Add sugar and mix it with low-medium on the Ankarsrum Assistent.
-
Sprinkle dry yeast on the top and let set for a few minutes.
-
Add cardamom, salt and flour little by little while mixing on low-medium.
-
Pour melted butter in the very end and knead the dough in the Ankarsrum low-medium for 10 minutes.
-
Cover the bowl and let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
-
Place dough on a well-floured surface, add more flour if dough feels too sticky. Roll the dough into small balls. Depending on the size, you will have 15-20 small buns.
-
Place buns on a baking sheet, cover and let rise for about 15 minutes.
-
Optional: brush buns with maple syrup to get a lovely golden brown color.
-
Bake in the oven for about 3-5 minutes. If you are making very small buns, the baking time is about 3 min and when making larger buns, the baking time is 5 min.
-
Place a gingerbread cookie heart on top gently pressing it and bake for another 3-6 minutes or until bun and cookie has a lovely golden brown color.
-
Make gingerbread cookie batter when the bun dough is rising.

Whisk dairy-free butter and sugar in the Ankarsrum machine.
-
Add all dry ingredients while mixing and add the oat cream last. Mix until fully combined.
-
When the buns are rising, take the cookie batter out of the fridge and roll it into a thin (about 0,5 cm) sheet. Take out small hearts or any shape you like.
-
6Press gently on top of prebaked bun and bake in the oven for about 3-6 minutes until ready (depending on size).
-
Let buns cool for a while and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Enjoy these wonderful holiday treats!
