High-Protein Croissants

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The promise of guilt-free pleasure. While puff pastry is naturally rich, this version balances it with a filling packed with high-quality protein and slow-digesting carbs (if using whole wheat pastry). Ideal as a post-workout 'cheat meal' that won't derail your diet.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix protein powder, almond flour, yogurt, and honey into a thick paste.

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

Fill the pastry triangles and roll them up.

Tip: Roll tightly!
3 ✓

Brush with egg wash and bake at 375°F-400°F (190-200°C) until done.

Tip: Whole wheat pastry is darker, so it's harder to see if it burns—trust your nose!
4 ✓

Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with walnuts.

Tip: Dark chocolate provides antioxidants, while walnuts are a source of Omega-3.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use other protein flavors?
Absolutely, chocolate or hazelnut work great too.
What makes the dough 'protein'?
The dough itself is standard (unless using a specialty recipe); the 'protein' label comes from the rich filling.
