Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 cup salted butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and erythritol sweetener.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly until it holds together.

Step 6

Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly over the dough, gently pressing them in.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough from the long side into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow the croissants to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
