Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (low sodium)
• 4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 whole Egg white
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and erythritol. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to incorporate it until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk. Stir into the flour mixture until a dough forms.

Step 5

Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the dough and knead it by hand until smooth.

Step 6

On a well-floured (almond flour) surface, roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the dough into triangles with a base of about 4 inches. Carefully roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape.

Step 8

Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Whisk the egg white in a small bowl and brush it over each croissant for a shiny finish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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