Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams whey protein powder
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 150 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams sugar-free jam
- 1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
Place about 1 tablespoon of sugar-free jam in the center of each square.
Fold one corner of the square over the filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges to seal.
Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
