Limit the consumption to half a bun or pair it with foods that have low absorption rates.

Pair your hot cross bun with high-protein foods like Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include a side of vegetables or a small salad to add fiber to your meal, which can help moderate glucose levels.

Consume the bun as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own. Adding lean proteins and healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar.

Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk walk, after eating to help your body use up the glucose.

Drink a glass of water before or with the meal to aid digestion and potentially slow down sugar absorption.

Sprinkle some cinnamon on the bun, as it is believed to have properties that help regulate blood sugar levels.

Include a small serving of vinegar-based foods, such as a pickle or a dash of lemon juice, which may help lower the rise in blood sugar.

Add a spread of almond butter or have a few slices of avocado with your meal to help reduce the spike.

Consider eating the hot cross bun earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at managing glucose levels, rather than late at night.
