• 1 pinch salt
• 2/3 cup cold vegan butter
• 2-4 tbsp ice cold water
• 1 heaping cup frozen mixed berries

3. Drizzle cold water over the mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until it starts to form a dough.-Turn onto a floured surface, shape into a disc, and then use a rolling pin to roll into a large rectangle.
4. Cut into 12 equal squares and transfer each to the baking sheet.
5. Place 1 tbsp of filling onto half of the squares , leaving a 1/4 inch border to seal the edges. Then use your finger to dot water around the edges so the two squares stick together. Top the squares with their matching halves and then seal lightly with a fork. Poke a few holes in the top of each, rub a tiny bit of vegan butter on top of each, sprinkle with raw sugar, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Protein Sticky Buns

Ingredients

Dough

• 1 cup almond milk
• 3 tbsp vegan butter
• 1 packet rapid-rise instant yeast
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Coffee Coconut + MCTs Clean Lean Protein

• 1 Tbsp cinnamon

Sticky Glaze:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegan butter
• 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)

Method

1. Microwave the almond milk and vegan butter until warm and melted, It should be warm but not too hot or it will kill the yeast. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle on yeast. Let activate for 10 minutes, then add sugar and the salt and stir.
2. Next add in flour and 1/2 cup at a time, stirring as you go. The dough will be sticky. Rinse your mixing bowl out, coat it with avocado oil or other neutral oil, and add your dough ball back in. Roll around to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. While dough is rising, make the sticky glaze by mixing butter and brown sugar and spreading it in an even layer on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Top with pecans and set aside.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin rectangle. Brush with melted vegan butter and top with brown sugar and cinnamon.
5. Starting at one end, tightly roll up the dough. Then with a serrated knife, cut the dough into 1.5 - 2 inch sections and position in your 8x8 dish with the glaze layer on the bottom. Cover with plastic wrap and set on top of the oven to let it briefly rise again while you preheat oven to 350°F.
6. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, carefully invert, and then serve immediately.
