Quick, easy & so delicious: Vegan almond croissants with puff pastry and a creamy almond filling. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or Sunday coffee.
Croissants are great. Especially fresh from the oven and when the delicious scent permeates the whole apartment. Add a cup of coffee and the day is pretty much perfect. These vegan almond croissants have been quite popular lately for us and they are my definition of a perfect Sunday afternoon.
Why should you try these vegan almond croissants?
- Because they are super easy to prepare.

I could go on and on with the list. Croissants are great, whether sweet or savory, warm or cold, for breakfast or with coffee.
I discovered my love for almond croissants in Auckland. There are almond croissants in every café and they taste incredibly delicious everywhere. While I used to know croissants plain or with chocolate, the combination of creamy, intense almond cream and crispy puff pastry won me over with the first bite. But no worries, you don’t have to travel to Auckland to enjoy a delicious almond croissant. With fresh puff pastry from the supermarket, the delicacy can be also home. Easy Peasy.
