Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cold coconut oil
- 0.75 cup cold almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil for glaze
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the cold coconut oil using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk with honey, lemon juice, the egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and knead it gently. Roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles.
Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll them up to form croissant shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
While the croissants are baking, prepare the glaze by melting the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the maple syrup and remove from heat. Allow it to cool slightly until it thickens.
Once the croissants are done, drizzle the glaze over them while warm. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Glazed Croissants!
