Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Tapioca starch
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter), cold and cubed
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Raw honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Paleo-friendly jam
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Blend well using a whisk.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed ghee into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 of the eggs together with the honey and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be thick yet slightly sticky.

Step 6

Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, flatten it slightly with your hands, and cover it with another piece of parchment paper.

Step 7

Roll the dough between the parchment papers into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the edges to make it even if necessary.

Step 8

With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rectangle into 8 triangles.

Step 9

Gently roll each triangle from the base to the point, forming them into croissant shapes. Place each croissant onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over each croissant to ensure a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 12

Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 13

Serve warm with a generous dollop of paleo-friendly jam.
