itemprop=\"description\">Want to make hot cross buns that are healthy, no sugar, only natural ingredients for the whole family and bubs 6mo+. These healthy hot cross buns are absolutely delicious, naturally sweetened and are great for babies 6mo+, kids, family and friends at Easter. The only thing you will need to consider is that the dough will need to rest and double in size in a warm place for 2hrs. I ended up making these on a Saturday morning and got Ava involved, a great introduction to baking with a toddler! She loved it, I gave her her own bowl which had some dough and raisins in it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"recipe-author\">By: <span itemprop=\"author\">Rachael Tucker<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"recipe-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" itemprop=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babyledweaningideas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/hot1-225x300.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\n<div class=\"recipe-ingredients\">\n<h5>Ingredients<\/h5>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2.5 cups of plain flour<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1 cup whole wheat (wholemeal) flour<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1 tablespoon instant yeast<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1\/2 teaspoon bicarb soda<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2 teaspoon mixed spice (or just cinnamon)<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1x apple<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1 orange<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">1\/2 cup of raisins (or sultanas or dates)<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2\/3 cup full fat milk<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">2\/3 cup full fat greek yogurt<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">The Cross:<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">6x tablespoons plain flour<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\">6x tablespoons water<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeIngredient\"\/>&#13;\n                    <\/ul>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-7\">\n<div class=\"recipe-directions\">\n<h5>Directions<\/h5>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li itemprop=\"recipeInstructions\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/HowToStep\">&#13;<br \/>\n                    <span class=\"step\">Step 1<\/span>&#13;<br \/>\n                    <span itemprop=\"text\">In a pan add all the sultanas, squeeze the whole orange, grate the grind off the orange, then grate the whole apple \u2013 then place on heat for a few minutes until combined and liquid has been sucked up.
