I have made the Atkins revolution rolls, and while they were OK I knew I could improve upon that recipe to add better texture and a lot more taste, so I present to you ” Jay’s Low Carb Croissants”. These are so yummy and I love the texture, so much like regular Croissants.
Ingredients:
4 Egg Whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3 Egg Yolks
1 Tsp Mrs Dash (original blend)
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 scoop of 365 Brand vanilla whey protein shake (from whole foods) mix with 1/4 water
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
Method:
- To the egg yolks add the Mayonnaise, Mrs dash, cheddar cheese and the vanilla shake and mix until uniform.
- To the egg whites add the cream of tartar and whisk using a mixer as shown in the video.
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the egg whites and fold in the mixture.
- Using a large spoon, spoon mixture out to a try lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 35 minutes at 300 degrees
- Turn oven off and leave in oven for another 5 minutes.
- Then remove croissants and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before eating.
This mixture will make 6 large croissants, Enjoy!
Hi, I can’t wait to try these! I’m just wondering, can I use butter instead of mayo?
Hi Michelle,
I am not sure if you are still doing low carb but I do appreciate your taking the time to write this comment. I am sorry that I am only now seeing it. I hope you are still enjoying the low carb lifestyle and doing well:)
Hi Jay,
OMG: I have this craving for Almond croissants, and did a search on the internet and found this recipe. You have taken what I call the “fathead” cheese dough craze and made it into something truly special!
I tweeked the recipe:
Substituted: butter for mayo (same qty)
I used Chocorite Vanilla protein powder and used the same amount (1 scoop in 1/4 cup of water)
I used mozzarella instead of cheddar
I left out Mrs. Dash and used instead 1/2 tsp almond flavoring and 1/2 tsp vanilla
I followed the rest of recipe to a “T”. I think I mixed in the egg whites to much, as they came out flat……….but it DIDN’T matter!!! These really, really do taste like a croissant – OMG they are sooooooo good. I made a spread of butter, monkfruit, almond flavoring and a bit of almond flour..and it was the PERFECT taste.
I think next time I will use just a tiny bit less cheese. But let me tell you: I do NOT like revolution rolls/bread, but this is a game changer.
I have celiac disease, so finding recipes which are easy, use easily available ingredients, is grain free, is so great.
Thank you so very. I hope you are doing well, I wanted to let you know your recipes are still being discovered and appreciated.

On video you say Atkins vanilla shake, on recipe you say scoop of protein. Which one and if the shake how much to use.
Hi Jay!
Making the croissants… cannot WAIT for them to be done!!!
In the written ingredient list, it says “1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash…”
But in the video, you say “1/4 teaspoon Mrs. Dash…”
and it looks like you use a 1/4 teaspoon…
I used1/4 t… will post pics on FB😘😘😘😃❤️🎄
Please give it a try.
Can you substitute soy protein powder for the whey?
Thank you for the kind words. I have many different recipes for low carb breads. Enjoy!
Hi sweetie, I just found your video, I’m looking for some low carb breads. I just started cooking with soy and whey proteins. I’m really happy to find your video’s, keep cooking my friend!
Sorry for the delayed reply. It means mix the scoop full with a 1/4 cup water. Hope that clears it up, sorry for the confusion:)
Hi Jay, Does “mix with 1/4 water” mean 1/4 scoop or 1/4 cup? Can’t wait to try these.
It sure is totally Atkins induction friendly!! 🙂
Om..wow!! I just finished baking this recipe and it is amazing!!! Is it induction friendly?
Hi Kim! I am sure you can try something like almond flour but I am not sure how much it will change the texture, I think coconut flour may work as well.
I love your recipe videos. I have checked all the comments but do not see a response to sustitute for vanilla whey. Is there something else that can be used in place of it….?
Thank you!
GLAD I FOUND YOU. YOUR RECIPES SOUND GREAT. WILL BEGIN USING SOME. THANKS, jONI
GLAD I FOUND YOU. YOUR RECIPES SOUND GREAT!!!
Im lactosse intolerance what can i use besides the whey??
Hi, can’t wait to try those buns, have been looking for recipes for buns. Didn’t see a reply to those first comments about what can be a substitute for the vanilla whey?? Is there a substitute for it??
What can I substitute the vanilla whey shake with? I have everything else.
Is there anything else I can use to substitute the vanilla whey with? I have everything but that.
I have made these three times this week – they are WONDERFUL!! I use two of them for a sandwich sometimes and I even used the recipe for pizza yesterday. The only problem is, I could eat the whole batch at once!!!!
Gwen, Just so you know, you cannot taste the cheese once the croissants are cooked. My daughter cannot stand cheese, and she LOVED the croissants. (I didn’t tell her that they had cheese in them until AFTER she ate them. She was very surprised!!) Good luck.
And thanks again, Jay. I am looking for a recipe for tomorrow night’s dinner now! 🙂

Hi Gwen, The cheese really works as a binder, I am no sure if anything will work as well.
Great Alisa, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed them: )
Oh wow! I just made the croissants today and then made the pizza by following your step by step instructions on youtube. I am definitely a loyal follower of yours now. It was absolutely delicious. Thanks!!!!!
