Ingredients
  

PASTRY:

  • 1/2 cup vanilla egg white protein or whey protein if not dairy sensitive
  • 3/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
  • 1/4 cup butter very cold (or coconut oil for dairy free)
  • 3 tablespoons powdered natural sweetener
  • 2-3 tablespoons water (just enough to hold the dough together)
  • 2 large eggs for egg wash

FILLING OPTIONS:

  • natural almond butter
  • sugar free jelly Click HERE for the brand I love!
  • Sugar Free Nutella Click HERE for recipe

GLAZE:

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered natural sweetener plus 1/2 tsp stevia glycerite
  • 1 teaspoon cherry extract (or vanilla/almond extract or other like apple extract)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the protein powder, almond flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas.
  • Stir in the water and sweetener to form a stiff dough.
  • On parchment paper, place 10 balls of dough a few inches apart. Shape with hands into rectangle shapes (size of a PopTart).
  • Beat the egg and brush it over the entire surface of the rectangles. Even the “insides” of the tart; the egg is to help glue the lid on.
  • Place a heaping tablespoon of desired filling into the center of each rectangle, keeping a bare 1/2-inch perimeter around it. Place a second rectangle of dough atop the first, using your fingertips to press firmly around the pocket of filling, sealing the dough well on all sides. Press the tines of a fork all around the edge of the rectangle. Repeat with remaining tarts.
  • Gently place the tarts on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick the top of each tart multiple times with a fork; you want to make sure steam can escape, or the tarts will become fluffy pillows instead of flat toaster pastries (my mistake number 1). Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges are lightly browned.
  • Cool in oven to crisp up.
  • While it bakes, prepare the glaze. In a medium sized bowl, place the 1/2 cup coconut oil (warm it until melted), extract and natural sweetener and mix well. Set aside to cool a bit. Spread over Pop Tarts. Serve.
