Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined, ensuring not to over-mix.

Step 5

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

Flatten each dough mound slightly with your fingers or a spatula to form a round pastry shape.

Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each pastry.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.
