Ingredients

• 100 grams whey protein powder
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 100 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 150 grams Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams sugar-free jam
• 1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.

Step 7

Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.

Step 8

Place about 1 tablespoon of sugar-free jam in the center of each square.

Step 9

Fold one corner of the square over the filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges to seal.

Step 10

Transfer the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

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