Servings 8 croissants
Calories 182kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ½ cup sunflower seed flour or almond flour
- ¼ cup whey protein powder unflavored
- ⅓ cup monk fruit with allulose or see notes above
- 2 teaspoon fast acting dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until combined and forms a dough.
- Place the dough into a microwavable bowl and microwave 1-2 minutes until soft. (See alternative above if you don't want to use the microwave.)
- Dough will be sticky. Place it onto a piece of parchment paper on a stable surface. Place another piece over the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and form a 12 inch circle. Spray a pizza cutter with olive oil cooking spray and cut the dough into 8 triangles.
- Press chocolate chips if using, into each triangle of dough then wet hands because dough is sticky then roll each one up to form a crescent shape. Place onto prepared baking sheet pan.
- Place sheet pan into the middle rack of your oven and bake 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Once cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
