Ingredients

• 60 grams Protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Low-sodium baking powder
• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, and low-sodium baking powder. Stir well to ensure they are evenly mixed.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula until a rough dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until smooth. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm.

Step 7

Use a pastry cutter or a knife to cut the dough into desired pastry shapes and sizes.

Step 8

Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg white to give the pastry a golden sheen when baked.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the pastries cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium, high-protein pastries!
