Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or low-carb sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia. Mix well to ensure no clumps.

Step 2

Add chilled, unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, and water until smooth.

Step 4

Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough is formed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the rectangle into triangles. Starting from the base, roll each triangle up towards the tip to form the classic croissant shape.

Step 9

Place each rolled croissant onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 10

Brush the tops with a little extra Greek yogurt for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Let the croissants cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
