High-protein croissants

Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The promise of guilt-free pleasure. Although puff pastry is inherently fatty, this version compensates with the filling: a treat supplemented with high protein and slow-release carbohydrates (if wholemeal pastry is used). Ideal as a post-workout 'cheat' meal that doesn't ruin the diet.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the protein powder, almond flour, yoghurt, and honey into a thick cream.

Tip: If it's too runny, add more almond flour so it doesn't leak out during baking.
2 ✓

Fill the pastry triangles and roll them up.

Tip: Roll tightly!
3 ✓

Brush with the egg and milk wash, bake at 180-200°C until done.

Tip: Wholemeal pastry is darker, making it harder to see if it's burnt, so watch the smell!
4 ✓

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with walnuts.

Tip: Dark chocolate is an antioxidant, walnuts are a source of Omega-3.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use other protein flavours?
Sure, chocolate or hazelnut work great too.
What makes the pastry 'protein'?
The dough itself is usually not protein-rich (unless it's a special recipe), the 'protein' label comes from the filling.
