Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup sugar-free hazelnut spread
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and melted.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and sugar substitute.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until you have a firm dough. If the dough is too sticky, dust with a little more almond flour.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Place about 1 tablespoon of sugar-free hazelnut spread at the base of each triangle.

Step 7

Carefully roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape, tucking in the ends slightly.

Step 8

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with vanilla extract and brush over each croissant for a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Step 12

Optional: Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder before serving for extra flavor.
