Description
Protein-Packed Homemade Pop Tarts are a protein-rich twist on the nostalgic breakfast treat, featuring flaky wholewheat pastry and a strawberry filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups wholewheat flour
- ½ cup vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, chilled and solid
- 4–6 tbsp cold plant milk
- Filling:
- ½ cup strawberry jam
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Optional glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar mixed with 1–2 tsp plant milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix wholewheat flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in chilled coconut oil until crumbly.
- Add cold plant milk gradually, mixing until dough forms.
- Roll dough out and cut into rectangles.
- Spoon a small amount of jam onto half the rectangles, leaving a border.
- Top with remaining rectangles and press edges with a fork to seal.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden.
- Cool completely before adding optional glaze.
- If using glaze, mix powdered sugar with plant milk to reach a drizzleable consistency and gloss the cooled pastries.
Notes
- Freezer-friendly: bake, cool, and freeze baked pastries for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster oven or oven until warmed through.
- Customize by using any fruit jam or filled with fruit puree.
- Keep dough cold for best texture; you can chill wrapped dough briefly before rolling if needed.
- Vegan and dairy-free, with plant-based protein for a protein boost.
