Say what???? Keto croissants? Oh yes

Breakfast/Café da manhã, Recipes/Receitas, Something sweet/Doces heelsandspices

Croissants, yes, yes and yes. It is something that I fell in love with, since my first day in Paris, back in 1992. Of course that when I started LCHF I told myself that this would be an item out of my menu. So, when I saw it on @gb_hernandez Instagram – www.instagram.com/gb_hernandez (just follow her, she is great and has a beautiful feed full of amazing recipes) I just said to myself “Whaaaatttttt? I must try it.

And so I did. As always, just because I tweak recipes every time, even when they are already great as this one, I tweaked it. Not much, but did. They turn out great when freshly baked, but for my personal taste, they still taste “cheesy” for a sweet croissant (the way I like them, for savory with cheese and prosciutto they will be awesome).

 

I intend to keep tweaking it (I am traveling soon so it will take some time to have a final recipe), and will update it when I am happy with what I achieved. Thank you Gibelly for such a great one!

Croissants, yes, yes and yes. It is something that I fell in love with, since my first day in Paris, back in 1992. Of course that when I started LCHF I told myself that this would be an item out of my menu. I know two types of croissants, the melt in your mouth, flaky, croissant I used to eat in Paris, and a chewy one, that is more common here where I live. This one belongs to the second type. Is it the same as a traditional croissant? No. Am I happy with the recipe? Yes. Is it 100% to my taste? No. So I will still keep trying to get there. In the meantime enjoy this one that is really good.
