Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 ounces Full-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Swerve sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 portion Egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together until smooth, stirring every 20-30 seconds to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the melted butter and cream cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Beat the eggs together and add them to the dough, along with the Swerve and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the dough into long triangles, about 8-10 inches in length for each side.

Step 8

Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up towards the narrow tip to form a crescent shape.

Step 9

Place each croissant on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the tip is tucked underneath.

Step 10

Brush each croissant lightly with egg wash to give a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed.

Step 12

Allow the croissants to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
