Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 0.5 cup salted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and erythritol sweetener.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly until it holds together.
Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips evenly over the dough, gently pressing them in.
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough from the long side into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Arrange the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the croissants to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
