Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, blending well until the dough forms.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing the fruit.
- Form Pastries: Using a spoon, scoop the mixture into small mounds on the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into 8-10 individual pastries.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries turn a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving, which helps them set and enhances texture.
