Ingredients
2 large eggs, whisked
1 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup almond flour
12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
3 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine shredded coconut and almond flour.
Working in batches, dip each halved Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, then coat in the coconut-almond mixture.
Melt butter or coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook the coated rolls in the skillet until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 2–3 minutes per side. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve warm with butter, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
Notes
Topping Ideas: Try with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of coconut syrup.
Make it Dairy-Free: Use coconut milk and coconut oil instead of milk and butter.
Almond Allergy? Swap almond flour for all-purpose flour or oat flour.
