Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, unflavored
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup Mixed berries, fresh or frozen
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed and water. Mix well and set aside for about 5 minutes to let it thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, olive oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the flaxseed mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and mixed berries into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in even portions to form pastry rounds, about 3 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
