Low Carb Pop Tarts
Servings: 4 large Poptarts
Ingredients:
Dough:
2 cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
2 tsp xanthan gum
4 tbsp sweetener
6 tbsp butter, softened
3 tbsp almond milk
Filling:
2 cups strawberries, diced
¼ cup sweetener (or more depending on the sweetness of strawberries)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Egg Wash:
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp water
Frosting:
¼ cup sweetener
1 tbsp almond milk
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325F.
In a large bowl, add in all of your ingredients for your dough. Combine your dough until everything is thoroughly combined and knead for 1-2 minutes.
Your dough will be a little tacky, so if you need to, you can add a little bit of almond flour to keep it together. Let the dough rest as you make your filling.
In a medium sized saucepan, add your strawberries, sweetener and lemon juice. Allow this to cook down on medium heat for about 5 minutes, mashing the strawberries every minute or so. You’ll see that your mixture will turn into a thick jam. Taste, and adjust if you want it sweeter.
Assemble your pop-tart. Roll out your dough to be ¼ inch thick and cut into rectangles.
Add your filling, and top with another rectangle of dough. Using a fork, crimp the edges of your pop-tart and cut slits at the top.
Finish assembling the rest of your pop-tarts and now, make your egg wash.
Using a pastry brush, brush your egg wash on each pop-tart and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Allow your pop tarts to cool as you make your frosting. Pipe your frosting on and enjoy!
