Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture)

  • 2 oz cream cheese

  • 3/4 cup almond flour

  • 1 tbsp coconut flour

  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum

  • 1 large egg

  • Pinch of salt

Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Optional Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol

  • 1 tbsp almond milk or heavy cream

  • Splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.

  • In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

  • Add egg to the cheese mix. Stir fast. Then mix in the dry ingredients. Knead by hand until smooth.

  • Roll dough between parchment sheets into a big circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles.

  • Mix cinnamon and sweetener in a small bowl. Brush triangles with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon mix.

  • Roll each triangle from wide end to point to make a croissant shape.

  • Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown.

  • Optional: Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm croissants.

  • Let cool for a few minutes and serve warm or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to stop sticking.

  • Don’t skip xanthan gum—it helps the dough hold.

  • Add chopped nuts or a bit of cream cheese filling for a twist.

  • Reheat in air fryer or oven for best texture.
