Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
• 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 2 cups frozen mixed berries
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to form a dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 5

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the jam.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened apple sauce and frozen mixed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chia seeds to the berry mixture and stir well. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the jam thickens.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the jam cool slightly.

Step 9

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness and use a pastry cutter or knife to cut into squares, roughly 4 inches each.

Step 10

Place about 1 tablespoon of the berry jam in the center of each square.

Step 11

Fold the dough over diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 12

Place filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free jam-filled pastries warm or at room temperature.
