Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 cup fruit preserves or mashed fruit (such as strawberry or blueberry)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional glaze: 1/4 cup powdered sugar + 1–2 teaspoons milk or non-dairy milk
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt.
- 3. Cut in cold butter or coconut oil using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4. Add the egg and mix until a dough starts to form. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough holds together.
- 5. Divide dough in half, roll each half into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick, and cut into even rectangles (about 3×4 inches).
- 6. Place half of the rectangles on the baking sheet. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of fruit filling into the center of each.
- 7. Top with remaining rectangles, pressing edges to seal with a fork. Brush tops with beaten egg.
- 8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool.
- 9. (Optional) Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled pop tarts before serving.
Notes
- Use 100% fruit preserves or homemade chia jam for a naturally sweet filling.
- To make vegan, use coconut oil and a flax egg (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water) in the dough.
- Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days or freeze for longer storage. Toast gently before serving.
