Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons 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 bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add it to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until the dough begins to form.

Step 5

Add the egg and water to the dough, and continue stirring until everything is well combined. The dough should be smooth and relatively sticky.

Step 6

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangles for croissants. Start at the base of each triangle and roll towards the tip to form croissant shapes.

Step 8

Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each one.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
