This is my recipe for sweet, crispy vegan almond croissant pastry, a cross between almond croissants and brioche. I’m French and I love a classic French almond croissant. What I love the most is not the puff pastry, it’s the almond filling. Since I love a quick and easy sweet treat, I wanted to find a way to make almond croissants without making a complicated and time-consuming vegan puff pastry. This is my way of enjoying almond croissant flavors in mas mababa sa 30 minuto!
I love anything almond, but there’s something in traditional French baking called frangipane, a sweet almond cream traditionally made with almond flour, butter, and sugar. It has a strong almond taste that is typical of French King’s Cakes, almond croissants, or cake ng almendras.
These almond croissant pastry are buttery, crunchy on the outside with that sweet moist almond paste filling that tastes almost like marzipan. The crunchy toasted sliced almonds on top along with powdered sugar bring out all the flavors of a classic almond croissant but with a pastry shortbread texture. It’s a mix between a almond croissant and a cookie, and totally inspired by my gluten-free almond croissant cookies!

Vegan na Croissant Pastry na may Almond
Ingredients
- 3 ½ tasa Harina - (tala 1)
- 4 kutsarita Paghurno Powder
- 1 ⅓ tasa Soy Milk - (tala 2)
- ⅓ tasa Natunaw na Mantikilya na Walang Gatas (Walang Asin) - (tala 3)
Almond Paste Filling
- 1 ½ tasa Flour ng Almond - (tala 4)
- ½ tasa Hindi Pinong Cane Sugar - (tala 5)
- 6 tablespoons Natunaw na Mantikilya na Walang Gatas (Walang Asin)
- 1 kutsarita Katas ng almond
Mga Toppings
- ⅓ tasa Sliced Almond
- 2 tablespoons Natunaw na Mantikilya na Walang Gatas (Walang Asin) - magsipilyo sa ibabaw
tagubilin
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the flour, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
- Add the soy milk, melted, cooled, and vegan butter.
- Gumamit ng rubber spatula para haluin at pagsama-samahin ang mga sangkap. Kapag nagsimula na itong mahirap haluin, budburan ng kaunting harina ang iyong mga kamay at masahin ang masa upang buoin ito at maging isang bola ng masa.
- Itabi ang masa sa loob ng 10 minuto.
Almond Paste
- Meanwhile, prepare the almond paste filling. In a large bowl, stir almond flour, sugar, almond extract, and melted, cooled vegan butter until it forms a paste that is a bit sticky, and easy to roll into small balls. If too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to bring together. Set aside.
- Lightly add flour to the benchtop, release the pastry dough made before, and sprinkle some extra flour on the top of the dough.
- Roll the dough into a 12.5-inch x 10.5-inch rectangle. Divide the rectangle in half from the smaller sides using a pizza cutter. Then, cut out triangles – see pictures above above.
Assembling the croissant
- Bring one of the triangle in front of you and roll it again to spread it out, making sure the larger base of the triangle is wide enough to form a lovely croissant shape.
- Grab 1 tablespoon of almond paste from the previous bowl, roll it into a small cylinder that is less wide than the larger sides of the triangle so it fits in.
- Place the almond paste at the bottom part of the triangle – opposite to the pointy bit and start rolling to form a croissant shape.
- Place each prepared almond croissant pastry onto the baking sheet, leaving a thumb of space between each.
- Brush the top with almond milk and press a few sliced almonds on top of each croissant.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Remove from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted vegan butter.
- Cool down on a wire rack. When they reach room temperature, dust some powdered sugar on top.

You only need 8 ingredients for this recipe. It’s not as simple as my 3-Sangkap na Banana Cookies, but it’s easier to make than you think!
- Harina – You need classic all-purpose flour. For a gluten-free version, use my gabay sa pagpapalit na walang gluten. You also can’t use self-rising flour as it contains too much baking powder for this recipe.
- Paghurno Powder – Necessary for the little rise you need.
- Soy Milk – I prefer soy milk for most baking recipes because it contains plenty of protein, making it bring a good texture and binding. You can however, use other plant-based milk if you prefer.
- Mantikilya na Vegan – Any type of vegan butter alternative works.
- Flour ng Almond – To make the almond paste, you need almond flour.
- Asukal – I used classic table sugar, but you can also use unrefined coconut sugar instead.
- Katas ng almond – For a stronger almond flavor.
- Sliced Almond -To decorate on the top.
How To Make Vegan Almond Croissant Pastry
I’ve included all details in the recipe card below, but here are pictures of the most important steps to make sure you make them perfectly. Scroll just below for my tips!

- Almond croissant dough ingredients in a bowl.

- Croissant dough into a ball.

- Flattened croissant dough (10 x 12 inches).

- Cutting the croissant dough into triangles

- Almond paste ingredients in a bowl.

- Rolling a croissant pastry from the wide side.

- Decorated almond croissant pastries.
Mga Tip sa Pagbe-bake ni Carine
- Rest the dough for 10 minutes after forming the ball. It relaxes the dough and makes it softer and easier to roll.
- Roll a perfect rectangle to cut out nice triangles from it that all have the same size.
- Cut the triangles with a pizza cutter for better cutting and shape them equally. See pictures just above to see how I cut the dough.
- Roll each triangle muli before filling them. The goal here is to extend the dough – you want a long thin pointy triangle and a large base so you can fit the almond filling and roll it a nice croissant. If the dough is too thick and the triangle too small, it won’t roll into a croissant,
- Roll the almond paste filling into a cylinder that is way smaller then the triangle base or the filling runs out as the croissant bakes in the oven. Have a look above to see how I do it.
- If the almond paste is too dry, adjust it simply adding water. It should be sticky and easy to roll into ball or cylinder. If it’s too sticky, oil your hands before rolling.
- Press sliced almonds on top of the croissant to stick them into the dough. This ensures the almonds hold onto the dough after baking.
- Brush the warm croissants with melted vegan butter after cooking for an extra buttery flavor that mimics traditional croissants.
- Itabi sa isang lalagyan na hindi mapapasukan ng hangin at room temperature for up to 4 days. They harden in the fridge. They would still be good in the fridge, but I prefer them at room temperature.







Is it possible to use an almond paste from Trader Joe’s for filling?
Talagang!
Slide eight says to roll from the short side. All other references say to start from the wide side of the triangle. Am I missing something?
Sorry, that was a typo. You roll it from the wide end toward the point.
Thank you for your wonderful recipes. Wondering if you have a recipe for vegan macarons preferably without chickpea juice. Thank you. Despina
I have a coconut macarons recipe dito.
Can I use vegan puffed pastry?
Talagang!
Soooooooooooooooo good! Not too sweet! Yummy! Gonna try the almond flour cookies next!
Salamat!!
I love your recipes! For this one, I’d like to know if and how can I add sourdough discard to the dough?
I understand if it’s not doable, but I’ve got lots on hand and would love to incorporate 🙂
Thanks! Big fan!
I have to admit I never tried!
Suprisingly good!

I love the croissants, I made them smaller than yours but they were still perfect!
