These Keto Air Fryer Rock Buns are a very delicious British tea-time delight. It provides the same taste as classic ones. They have a soft inner side & get a crisp crust. Use the almond and coconut flour instead to create the soft buns. They get cooked evenly in an air fryer in only 22 minutes. The name Rock Buns is due to their slightly rustic & rocky upper part. We add the texture in these buns along with chocolate chips, almonds, or coconut flakes. It provides a slightly sweet taste. We can easily have these Keto Air Fryer Rock Buns in the morning, dessert, or even as a dessert.

BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder gives them lift & lightness in order to assist the buns rise correctly in the air fryer. It guarantees that the texture remains light and not thick.
CINNAMON POWDER:
- Cinnamon adds a gentle spice that improves the flavor & a warm, comforting aroma. It is a fantastic match for the buttery base & nutty almond flour. A pinch provides depth without overpowering the sweetness.

VANILLA ESSNECE:
- Vanilla essence balances out the sweetness with a delicate, dessert-like tone & adds aroma. It makes almond flour & Erythritol taste better.
