Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix non-fat Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest using a rubber spatula.
Using a spoon, drop dough mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each pastry.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool on a wire rack.
Serve these protein-packed pastries warm or store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
