Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup grass-fed butter, cold
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, solid
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.

Step 2

Cut the cold butter and solid coconut oil into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or fork, incorporate them into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Drizzle the raw honey over the flour mixture and add the cold water. Stir until the dough comes together. It should be slightly crumbly but hold together when pressed.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper, gently shape into a rectangle, and cover with another sheet of parchment paper.

Step 5

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough between the parchment papers into a rectangle approximately 10 x 12 inches and about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 6

Place the dough along with the parchment papers onto a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the dough to firm up.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into eight equal rectangles.

Step 9

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces, then place a few pieces in the center of each rectangle.

Step 10

Starting with a short edge, carefully roll each rectangle over the chocolate to form croissants.

Step 11

Place the croissants, seam side down, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to help them brown.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Chocolate Croissants warm.
