coconut milk

butter
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Coconut oil adds a tropical flavor while being dairy-free.
sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: brown sugar
Honey is a natural sweetener that adds moisture.
grated coconut
🥗Healthier: unsweetened shredded coconut
💰Cheaper: dried coconut flakes
Unsweetened shredded coconut is lower in sugar.
Combine warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, coconut milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients; stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a bun and place them in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper.
Let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
Steam the buns over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
