Ingredients

• 1 cup Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until melted. Stir well to combine them into a smooth mixture.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, mix the coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and fold together using a spatula.

Step 4

In a small bowl, beat the eggs together with apple cider vinegar and water. Add this to the dough mixture and combine until the dough is uniform and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, let it cool for a few minutes or sprinkle a little more coconut flour.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Gently peel off the top parchment paper and brush the surface of the dough with the melted butter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, cut the dough into triangles. Roll each triangle starting from the wider end towards the point to form the croissant shape.

Step 9

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 10

Brush the top of each croissant with more melted butter, if desired, for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 12

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