Description
A wholesome twist on the classic toaster pastry—these healthy Pop Tarts are made with whole wheat flour, natural sweeteners, and a fruity filling. Great for breakfast or snack time.
Ingredients
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.
