Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate (unflavored or vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Stevia
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or almonds)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened dried cranberries

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, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, stevia, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until the dough is combined and no dry flour is visible.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts and unsweetened dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a rough rectangle or circle about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Score the dough lightly with a knife to form 8 triangles or desired shapes. This will make it easier to break apart after baking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the pastry to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your sugar-free, protein-packed pastry as a delightful snack or meal supplement!
