Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup whey protein powder
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.25 cup greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, whey protein powder, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cubed cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg. Beat together until smooth.

Step 5

Add the yogurt mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead in the sliced almonds and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal-sized rectangles.

Step 9

Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk to ensure a beautiful golden color once baked.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
