Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons egg replacer (equivalent to 2 eggs), prepared according to package instructions
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared egg replacer. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined, ensuring not to over-mix.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough mound slightly with your fingers or a spatula to form a round pastry shape.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each pastry.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these dairy-free protein pastries as a nutritious breakfast option or post-workout treat!
