Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2.25 teaspoons Yeast
• 1 tablespoon Stevia powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 2 bars Sugar-free dark chocolate
• 1 beaten egg Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of cream)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and stevia powder in the warm milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and salt.

Step 3

Slice the cold butter into thin sheets and add to the almond flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry blender to incorporate the butter into the flour until you have a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the flour and butter mixture. Mix gently until the dough forms a ball.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

After chilling, roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches) on a floured surface.

Step 7

Break the sugar-free dark chocolate bars into small pieces or strips.

Step 8

Cut the dough into triangles with a base of about 3-4 inches.

Step 9

Place 1-2 pieces of chocolate near the base of each triangle, then roll each triangle from the base towards the tip to form croissant shapes.

Step 10

Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.

Step 11

Brush each croissant with the egg wash.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 13

Bake the croissants for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 14

Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
