Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the jam: In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries and blueberries over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the berries for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and release their juices.

Step 3

Add lemon juice and chia seeds, stir to combine, and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool and thicken.

Step 4

While the jam is cooling, prepare the pastry dough: In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and granulated erythritol.

Step 5

Add the unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough starts to come together.

Step 7

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 10

Cut the dough into 3-inch squares and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cooled sugar-free jam onto the center of each square.

Step 12

Fold the squares into triangles, sealing the edges using a fork. Use a sharp knife to make two small slits on top of each triangle to allow steam to escape.

Step 13

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 14

Brush each pastry with the egg wash to give them a glossy finish.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and flaky.

Step 16

Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free jam-filled pastries.
