• 0.25 cup Sliced almonds

• 2 tablespoons Almond milk

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in the cold coconut oil using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, honey, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Do not over mix.

Step 6

Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Spread almond butter evenly over the dough.

Step 8

Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the almond butter layer, pressing them in gently to adhere.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough from the long side until a log is formed.

Step 10

Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place each piece cut side up onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with almond milk. Brush this mixture over each croissant to aid browning.

Step 12

Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over each croissant.

Step 13

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