Description
Delightful grain-free croissants filled with a sweet pistachio mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface (using almond flour), roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into triangles (about 4 inches wide at the base).
- In a small bowl, mix the finely chopped pistachios with honey or maple syrup.
- Place a teaspoon of the pistachio filling at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll the triangles from the wide end to the tip, forming croissants.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Beat the additional egg and brush it over the croissants for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes 8 croissants.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor.
- You can substitute the pistachios with any nut of your choice, such as almonds or walnuts, for a different taste.
