A tender oat flour dough is delicately filled with slices of fresh, juicy strawberries and naturally sweetened with a touch of honey.

Ideal for breakfast, post-workout snacks, or a guilt-free dessert, this recipe is a must-try for anyone seeking a nutritious yet delicious pastry option.
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.
