Oatmeal and Honey Croissants
The croissant is one of the most famous pastries in French bakeries, which can be prepared in countless variations. The oatmeal and honey croissant is a healthier version that combines the crispy texture of oatmeal and the natural sweetness of honey with the light layers of the classic croissant. Adding oatmeal not only increases nutritional value but also lends a slightly nutty flavor to the pastry. If you like healthier but still delicious pastries, this recipe is definitely worth trying!
