Sweet craving day? This crispy little almond “croissant” is the move. It gives you that bakery-style crunch and cozy almond filling, but it’s gluten-free and made with pantry staples. Almond flour brings healthy fats and a bit of protein, so it feels satisfying—aka the perfect snack when you want something sweet without going full dessert.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a tray with parchment paper.
Mix the almond filling ingredients until you get a thick, spreadable paste. Add almond milk slowly to achieve the desired consistency.
Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip the rice paper into the egg until softened and coated.
Lay the rice paper flat and spread the almond filling in the center.
Fold or roll the rice paper into a croissant-style shape. Tuck the ends if you want it to look extra croissant-like.
Brush the croissant with any remaining egg and sprinkle slivered almonds on top.
Bake for 12–18 minutes, watching closely, until golden and crisp. Cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Add almond milk gradually to the filling to avoid making it too runny.
Watch the croissant closely while baking to prevent over-browning.
Tucking the ends of the rice paper gives a more authentic croissant shape.
Can I use a different type of flour for the filling?
Almond flour is recommended for its texture and flavor, but you can experiment with other gluten-free flours like coconut flour. Adjust the liquid accordingly.
What can I use instead of rice paper?
Rice paper is ideal for this recipe, but you could try gluten-free wraps or tortillas as an alternative.
How do I prevent the rice paper from tearing?
Dip the rice paper gently into the egg mixture and handle it carefully to avoid tearing.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
You can replace the egg with a plant-based egg substitute and use almond milk for brushing instead of egg.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
