Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.

Melt the mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.

Cut the dough into 8 triangles.

Step 9

Place a few pieces of dark chocolate at the wide end of each triangle.

Step 10

Roll the triangles, starting from the wide end and tucking the point underneath to form a croissant shape.

Step 11

Transfer the croissants to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 13

Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb chocolate croissants warm or at room temperature.
