Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup whey protein isolate
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, melt the cream cheese and butter together in the microwave, stirring every 10 seconds until completely combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, whey protein isolate, sweetener, and baking powder. Stir to mix well.
Pour the melted cream cheese and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, and add the vanilla extract and egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough for each pastry onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
Flatten each scoop of dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with coconut oil for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your keto-friendly protein pastry!
