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
Fruit
- 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. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until the ingredients form a cohesive dough.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the dough, taking care not to crush them, so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Shape Pastries: Scoop the mixture into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into 8-10 individual pastries.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries turn golden brown and are set in the middle.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.

- You can substitute blueberries with other berries or chopped fruits of your choice.

- Store pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These pastries can be frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
