Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Whey Protein Powder
- 0.5 cup Cold Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 cup Greek Yogurt
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut the dough into desired shapes using a pastry cutter.
Place the cut dough shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the pastries with milk for a nice glaze.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
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, and enjoy your high-protein raisin pastries!
