Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Berries (optional, for filling or topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and protein powder until smooth.
Add eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the protein powder mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a pliable dough forms.
Fold in the chia seeds gently into the dough to maintain texture.
If desired, fold in a portion of the berries to the dough or save them for topping.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and slightly flatten on the prepared baking sheet.
Optionally, create a small indentation in the center of each pastry with your thumb or a spoon and fill with additional berries.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy your nutritious, gluten-free pastry!
