Ingredients

Scale

1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup strawberry jam
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup neutral‑flavored oil
2 tbsp milk or water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, vanilla protein powder, confectioners sugar, and sugar.
3. Add applesauce, vanilla extract, neutral‑flavored oil, and milk or water. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4‑inch thickness and cut into rectangles.
5. Spread strawberry jam on half of the rectangles; top with remaining pieces.
6. Seal edges with a fork and place on the prepared sheet.
7. Bake 15‑20 minutes until golden brown. Cool before serving.

Notes

For a gluten‑free version, replace whole wheat flour with a gluten‑free blend. Chill dough 15 minutes before rolling for easier handling. Store cooled pop‑tarts in an airtight container
they keep well at room temperature for three days or freeze for up to two months.
