Description
Vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free pop-tarts made with a crispy almond flour crust and a tart cherry butter filling. Perfect for a fun weekend breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 cups superfine almond flour
- 2/3 cup almond or cashew butter
- 2–5 TBSP ice cold water
- 1 TBSP coconut sugar (or sub maple syrup)
- 1 jar Eden Foods Organic Tart Cherry Butter (or sub your favorite refined sugar-free fruit spread)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
To prepare crust, add almond flour and coconut sugar to a large bowl, then cut in the nut butter with a fork or pastry cutter until well combined.
-
Using a tablespoon, drizzle cold water over the mixture and mix everything with a spoon until it starts to form a dough. Add cold water in Tablespoon increments, starting with 2-3 and adding up to 4. The batter should be moist enough to form into a ball with your hands, but not too sticky. Add more almond flour if it gets too wet.
-
Place the ball onto a floured parchment paper lined surface and flatten into a uniform rectangle with your hands, using a rolling pin to assist. Add another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough before rolling to reduce sticking and cracking.
-
Carefully cut the dough into 12 equal squares (measure if you need to– the more equal the better!) and carefully transfer them to the baking sheet.
-
Place 1 heaping Tablespoon of cherry butter onto 6 of the squares, leaving a generous 1/4 inch border to seal the edges. Then use your finger to dot water around the edges so the two squares stick together. Top the squares with a second dough square and then seal edges with a fork by pressing indents around the perimeter of each pop-tart.
-
Poke a few holes in the top of each and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on the top and edges.
-
Remove from the oven and allow pop-tarts to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover pop-tarts in the refrigerator for 5 days and freeze for longterm storage. Reheat in the microwave before serving.
