Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with a silicone liner. Set an oven baking rack to the 2nd highest position.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Set aside.

  3. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the cheese on high in 30 second increments until well melted and almost liquid. Stir in the flour mixture and the egg and knead in the bowl using a rubber spatula.

  4. Turn out onto the prepared baking sheet and continue to knead together until cohesive. If the dough is sticky, work in another tablespoon or two of coconut flour.

  5. Cover with a large piece of parchment paper or waxed paper and roll the dough into a 12 inch circle. Use a pizza wheel or large sharp knife to cut into 8 even wedges.

Denise Moye ★ 5.0/5

This is the second batch of keto croissants I made, the first batch being a slightly different recipe and they went completely flat. I put these in the fridge for 5 mins or so beforehand hoping they’d retain their shape, which they did (not sure if that was the refrigeration or the change in recipe?). My question is, the pastry is a little firm, is this because I put them in the fridge prior to baking and would you recommend this to avoid them going completely flat? I know they’re not going to be the exact texture of normal croissants and I was careful not to over handle the dough.

Ellie ★ 5.0/5

made these with Lily's semisweet chocolate chips instead of the almond paste. They are delicious and taste so much like a traditional chocolate croissant, it is amazing! Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
