This light and nutritious poppy seed strudel is a guilt-free take on the traditional favorite. Made with oatmeal instead of regular flour and sweetened naturally with honey, it’s a perfect treat for those looking to enjoy a healthy yet delicious dessert.
Ingredients
Dough:
- 200 g oatmeal
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 200 ml water
Filling:
- 70 g ground poppy seeds
- 30 g protein powder
Procedure
- Prepare the Dough:
- Grind the oatmeal into a fine flour (or use oat flour directly).
- Mix with honey and water to form a sticky dough.
- Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
- Shape the Strudel:
- Sprinkle a sheet of baking paper with a bit of ground oats to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough on the paper and, using a damp spatula, spread it into a square shape.
- Add the Filling & Roll:
- Evenly sprinkle the ground poppy seeds and protein powder over the dough.
- Using the baking paper, carefully roll the dough into a strudel shape.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- Lightly brush the strudel with a beaten egg for a golden crust.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until firm and lightly browned.
- Cool & Serve:
- Let the strudel cool slightly before slicing.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Final Tip
For a richer and more indulgent version, add a little sugar-free jam and a knob of butter to the filling. If you prefer extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts before rolling.
Enjoy! 🥐
