Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, making sure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until a cohesive dough forms.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the dough without squashing them.
- Form Pastries: Scoop the mixture into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into 8-10 individual pastries.
- Bake: Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheet before enjoying them warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the blueberries are fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw before mixing to prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
- These pastries can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
- You can substitute protein powder based on preference (whey, plant-based, etc.).
- For added texture, consider sprinkling nuts or seeds on top before baking.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using a sugar substitute if desired.
