Not Keto
Croissant
24.60g net carbs per 1 medium
Skip this one entirely, since a single medium pastry packs 24.6 g net carbs, more than a full day of carbs on most keto plans. Reach for a cloud bread or almond flour roll when you want that buttery, flaky feel without blowing your budget.

Good to Know
The flaky layers come from laminating dough with butter, so the fat (12 g) looks keto-friendly, but the white flour is what wrecks the count. Bakery and gas-station versions often run larger than 57 g, and filled options like almond or chocolate add even more sugar on top. If you want the buttery, layered feel without the wheat, a fathead-dough or almond-flour bake at home is the usual workaround.
Is Croissant Keto? The Full Answer
Croissant contains 24.60g net carbs per 1 medium (26.10g total carbs minus 1.50g fiber). Skip this one entirely, since a single medium pastry packs 24.6 g net carbs, more than a full day of carbs on most keto plans. Reach for a cloud bread or almond flour roll when you want that buttery, flaky feel without blowing your budget.
On a standard ketogenic diet, most people target 20-25g net carbs per day. A single serving uses 123% of a 20g daily carb limit. If you are following a strict ketogenic protocol, reach for a lower-carb option instead.
Better Keto Swaps
A flaky croissant runs 24.6 g net carbs per medium piece, almost all of it from the laminated white flour, so it blows past a typical keto day in one sitting. Here are some swaps that hit the same buttery, savory craving without the wheat. Fathead dough croissants are the closest stand-in. Made from mozzarella, almond flour, cream cheese, and egg, they fold into crescent shapes and bake up golden at roughly 3 g net carbs each. Want something fast? A cloud bread roll (egg whites, cream cheese, a pinch of cream of tartar) gives you a soft, airy base for butter or jam at under 1 g net carbs per piece. For a grab-and-go option, a 90-second almond flour mug bread lands around 2 to 3 g net carbs and toasts well with butter, which scratches the same warm, rich itch in about two minutes.
