Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 None Egg white
• 50 grams Reduced fat margarine
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Sugar
• 100 grams Ground almonds
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the low-fat plain yogurt and reduced fat margarine to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to incorporate them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the egg white and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a rectangle about 30 cm x 20 cm (12 x 8 inches).

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, ground almonds, low-fat milk, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to create the nut filling.

Step 7

Spread the nut filling evenly over the rolled out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Place the pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into crescent shapes.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the Nussgipfel are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 11

Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Nussgipfel with a hot beverage of your choice.
