Cashew Croissants
The croissant is one of the most well-known pastries from French bakeries, prepared in countless variations. The cashew croissant is a rich, nutritious alternative, offering a creamier, nuttier flavor thanks to the cashew flour and roughly chopped cashews, while maintaining the classic croissant's light and layered texture. Whole wheat flour helps keep the dough soft and tender. It's an excellent choice for those who love healthier pastries but don't want to compromise on taste. If you're looking for a more nutritious alternative to the classic croissant, this recipe is worth trying!
