Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until all components are fully incorporated, creating a slightly thick dough.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the dough, being careful not to crush them, to ensure even distribution throughout the mixture.
Shape Pastries: Scoop the mixture into 8 to 10 small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for baking expansion.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pastries for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are set in the middle.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. Serve them warm or at room temperature for a delightful breakfast or snack option.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
You can use frozen blueberries but thaw and drain excess moisture first to avoid soggy pastries.
Protein powder type affects flavor and texture; vanilla or unflavored works best.
Store pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
These pastries can be reheated in the microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm treat.
