Keto Croissants

Cultural Context

Keto Croissants are a modern twist on the classic French pastry, adapted for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. Traditionally, croissants are made with flour and butter, but this version uses almond flour and cream cheese to achieve a similar flaky texture without the carbs. They are perfect for brunch or as a special breakfast treat, allowing those on a keto diet to enjoy a beloved classic without compromising their dietary goals. As keto diets gain popularity, variations of these croissants have emerged, making them a favorite among health-conscious bakers.

1

Set your oven temperature to 320°F (160°C).

Roll out the CK almond flour dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (6 mm).

3

Cut triangles into the dough by marking the center and cutting from the center to the corners.

4

Transfer each triangle onto a second sheet of baking paper to prevent cracking.

5

If the dough is soft and prone to breaking, chill it for about 10 minutes to firm up.

6

Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, creating tension as you roll.

7

For chocolate croissants, place about 2 tablespoons of 90% chocolate in the center before rolling.

8

In a bowl, mix 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

9

Apply the egg wash all over the croissants, ensuring to get into the cracks and folds.

10

Bake the croissants for 25 minutes, checking for doneness.

11

Spray the croissants with olive oil spray to keep them moist and bake for an additional 5 minutes if needed.
