Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium baking powder
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, and low-sodium baking powder. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula until a rough dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until smooth. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm.
Use a pastry cutter or a knife to cut the dough into desired pastry shapes and sizes.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white to give the pastry a golden sheen when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium, high-protein pastries!
