Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Whole30-compliant)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Ghee, chilled and cubed
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps.

Step 3

Add the chilled ghee cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the ghee into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the apple cider vinegar and water.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface (use almond flour) and gently knead it. Shape the dough into a rectangle.

Step 7

Fold the dough over itself in thirds like a letter. Rotate 90 degrees and roll it out again into a rectangle. Repeat the folding process two more times.

Step 8

Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles with a sharp knife.

Step 9

Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30, low-carb croissants warm for the best texture.
