Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Add the chilled and diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the flour-butter mixture. Gently fold together with a spatula until a dough forms.

Step 6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly, just until it comes together.

Step 7

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

Step 8

Cut the dough into 8 equal squares or triangles, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with the milk. Brush the tops of the pastries with this egg wash.

Step 10

Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the pastries for an added crunch.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove from oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Step 13

Enjoy these pastries warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days for a nutritious treat at any time!
