Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 30 grams Protein powder (vanilla flavored)
- 2 large Egg whites
- 100 grams Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 60 milliliters Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 120 grams Fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 spray Olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or spray it lightly with olive oil spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and baking powder. Mix well until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Add in the egg whites, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
Lightly flour a clean work surface with additional oat flour. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Roll the dough out into a rectangular sheet, roughly 1/4-inch thick.
Slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces and set aside.
Cut the rolled dough into 6 equal squares or rectangles. Place a few slices of strawberry in the center of each square, leaving a small margin around the edges.
Fold each pastry square in half diagonally to form a triangle (or into a rectangle shape if preferred). Press the edges together with a fork to secure the filling inside.
Place the pastries on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
Using a fork, poke a few small holes in the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or an extra drizzle of honey if desired.
