Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Stevia
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, stevia, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until the dough is combined and no dry flour is visible.
Fold in the chopped nuts and unsweetened dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a rough rectangle or circle about 1-inch thick.
Score the dough lightly with a knife to form 8 triangles or desired shapes. This will make it easier to break apart after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the pastry to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your sugar-free, protein-packed pastry as a delightful snack or meal supplement!
