Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1/2 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and spices.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined into a dough.
- Incorporate Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them, to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the dough.
- Form Pastries: Using a spoon or scoop, place the mixture into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, forming approximately 8 to 10 individual pastries.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastries turn golden brown on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool before enjoying to let them set and enhance the flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones; just add them frozen directly to the batter.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These pastries make a great grab-and-go breakfast or post-workout snack.
