- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in blueberries to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the mixture into small mounds on the baking sheet, forming 8-10 pastries.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the pastries to cool before enjoying.
Notes
- To add extra crunch and healthy fats, fold in some chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
- Substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries for a different flavor.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and swap honey with maple syrup or agave.
- Add lemon zest or a pinch of nutmeg for an extra flavor boost.
- Make larger pastries by scooping more dough and adjusting the baking time.
