Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg Egg wash (1 egg, beaten)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the mozzarella cheese and butter. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the cheese mixture from heat and transfer it to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the almond milk and the two eggs.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients together using a spatula or a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead the dough a few times to ensure that it is smooth and well combined.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, divide the rectangle into 8 triangles.

Step 8

Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end towards the tip to form the croissant shape.

Step 9

Transfer the formed croissants to the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly.

Step 10

Brush each croissant lightly with the egg wash to help them achieve a golden color.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
