I love the smell of hot crossed buns but I generally have to stick to a gluten free and low FODMAP diet for health reasons, which got me to thinking about how to get that good bun flavour in a belly freindly manner.
This is that recipe and it's pretty dang good all things considered.

This version is vegan and gluten free but feel free to straight swap with normal flour.
