Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Low carb sweetener (erythritol or similar)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk (almond milk or similar)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and low carb sweetener until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients by mixing slowly until a dough forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and shape it into a triangular shape, similar to a croissant. Place a few pieces of dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips onto the widest part of the triangle.

Step 8

Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the tip, curving it slightly to form a crescent shape.

Step 9

Place the cornetti onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Mix the egg yolk with the almond milk to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the cornetti.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
