Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or low-carb sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and stevia. Mix well to ensure no clumps.
Add chilled, unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, and water until smooth.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough is formed. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough is chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the rectangle into triangles. Starting from the base, roll each triangle up towards the tip to form the classic croissant shape.
Place each rolled croissant onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Brush the tops with a little extra Greek yogurt for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the croissants cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
