Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 3 tablespoons Tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Grass-fed butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (70% or more, Paleo-approved)
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 egg wash Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

Combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly to mix.

Step 2

Cut the grass-fed butter into small cubes. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold together when pressed.

Step 5

Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion between parchment paper into an oval shape. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Place a small piece of dark chocolate and a few sliced almonds at the wider end of each rolled dough oval.

Step 7

Gently roll the dough from the wider end to the smaller end, ensuring the chocolate and almonds are neatly enclosed. Pinch the ends gently to seal.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with the egg wash to encourage a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Chocolate Almond Croissants warm or at room temperature.
