Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 scoop Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whipped cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Berries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, melted coconut oil, stevia, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean work surface with a small amount of almond flour. Transfer the dough to the surface and knead a few times until smooth.

Step 6

Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out pastry circles.

Step 7

Transfer the pastry circles to the prepared baking sheet. With your thumb, make a small indentation in the center of each circle.

Step 8

Fill each indentation with a small dollop of whipped cream cheese. If desired, top each pastry with some fresh berries.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and set.

Step 10

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb, protein-packed pastries either warm or at room temperature.
