Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Butter (cold, cubed)
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 50 milliliters Almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apricot extract
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 4 tablespoons Sugar-free apricot jam
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) 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, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and apricot extract until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 6

Once chilled, place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30 cm by 20 cm.

Step 7

Spread cream cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough, then follow with a thin layer of sugar-free apricot jam.

Step 8

Using the parchment paper to help, gently roll the dough from the long edge into a tight log. Slice into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolk with water, and brush this glaze over the tops of the croissants.

Step 11

Bake for 20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.

Step 12

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb apricot croissants warm or at room temperature.
