Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 6 pieces Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot starch, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the melted coconut oil and water. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. You may need to knead with your hands once the mixture becomes too thick for a spoon.
On a lightly floured surface or using additional arrowroot starch, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the dough into triangles for the croissants. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter for straight edges.
Roll each triangle up from the wide end towards the tip to form the croissant shape.
Place the croissants onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch.
While the croissants are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the pitted dates with 1/4 cup of water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until dates are soft.
Transfer the date mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Once the croissants are done baking, let them cool slightly before drizzling the date glaze over the top.
Serve warm for a delightful Whole30-compliant breakfast or treat!
