Pumpkin & Almond Croissants

Yes, yet another pumpkin recipe!

Trader Joe’s is selling pumpkin croissants this year.  I want them.  They are not vegan.  Fine!  I will make my own.  Take that, Trader Joe’s!

I made a quickie version that is ridiculously fast, super satisfying, and a really fun fall breakfast.  Or dessert!

serves 1
1/4 sheet vegan puff pastry* (about 4×4 – a quarter of a typical size sheet)
1 T pumpkin puree
1/4 t pumpkin pie spice mix
1 T almond paste

*read the ingredients – a lot of puff pastry is made with vegetable shortening instead of butter, and is therefore vegan! 

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Cube the almond paste, and mix it in a little bowl with the pumpkin puree and the spice mix.  Put the filling in the middle of the puff pastry sheet and fold it in half into a triangle.  Crimp the edges down with a fork.  Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until puffy and golden.

Seriously, they’re that easy.  Just add coffee alongside 🙂
