Homemade Healthy Pop Tarts Recipes

HOMEMADE HEALTHY POP TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, prepare your magic dough with the sweetener and mix well, until combined. Using your hands, shape the dough into a thick, smooth ball.
• Flour a kitchen surface and add a tablespoon of flour on top of the ball of dough. Transfer the ball of dough onto the floured surface, and knead several times.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough, forming a rectangular shape, about 12 inches by 6 inches. Using a sharp knife (or pizza cutter), slice once length-ways, and 7 times the other way, to form 16 uniform rectangles.
• Place 8 of the rectangles on the lined baking tray, evenly spaced apart. Place 1 tablespoon of jam onto each rectangle. Place the other 8 rectangles on top of each one. Using a fork, press along each side of each pop tart, sealing it up completely. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each pop tart with milk.
• Bake the pop tarts for 15-20 minutes, or until golden on top. Allow pop tarts to cool, before glazing.
• While the pop tarts are cooling, prepare your glaze by combining your powdered sugar (powdered sugar) with the vanilla extract and yogurt. Whisk until a thick frosting remains. Using a spoon, spoon out frosting over the tops of each pop tart, spreading it slightly. Top with sprinkles, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt together into a bowl. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small peas. Add vanilla. Mix in cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together and forms a ball.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces and wrap with plastic wrap; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Beat softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make filling.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into rectangles with a knife. Drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto half of the rectangles. Cover with remaining rectangles. Press edges with a fork to seal. Poke a few holes in the top of each pastry with a toothpick.
• Arrange pastries on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pastries on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Scoop tablespoons of shortening onto a plate and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and chill for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Crumble shortening into the flour mixture with your fingers until no large clumps remain. Add 1/2 cup ice water to the mixture, a little at a time, until dough reaches a shaggy consistency. Knead on the countertop a couple of times to combine. The dough should appear a little too dry.
• Place dough back into the bowl or a large container and cover with a lid. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into twelve 4x6-inch rectangles.
• Place about 1 1/2 tablespoon of strawberry jam in the center of 6 of the rectangles. Brush the edges with water and top with the other dough halves. Seal the edges of each tart with a fork. Trim the edges for neater tarts, if desired.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Combine powdered sugar, almond milk, and food coloring in a bowl for icing. Drizzle icing over the cooled tarts.
