These came out great and the kids loved them. I automatically jazzed up the dough with cinnamon, a little honey and vanilla based on the previous comments. I also added ground flax to the dough. I will be stockpiling these for the freezer in preparation for the upcoming school year along with those yummy chewy protein granola bars! You rock girlie!

I made these last night….they turned out well, but my 3 year old (who I made them for) did NOT like them….I think I will use oat flour and a mix of white flour. I think it was just too much of a change for him from full on poptart to super healthy one. I do think that the dough needs a bit more sweetness and flavor. After finding out poptarts have 50 ingredients I am definitely gonna try to make these a success for our family…thanks for the jumping off point.

I tried these today. I didn’t roll the dough thin enough 🙁 they didn’t quite cook through. Next time I will make sure the dough is super thin!

So glad you liked them! You could flavor the dough however you’d like 🙂 Vanilla/cinnamon would be nice, or any other spice you like…

Hi Kristine!
Thanks for yet another mom-feels-good recipe 🙂 I made these this morning -turned out so nice and crispy! The kids liked them but I guess I made them too big (too much no-filling pastry). They said smaller next time LOL I think they would also taste great with some cinnamon in the pastry, or some other flavouring you can suggest? Thanks again!

In reply to Suzriley1. Glad you had fun with it! You could just add some liquid stevia to the crust if you want, or the concentrated stevia powder. Even a little bit of honey should work too!

I LOVE pop tarts which is exactly why I never eat them!! They are so full of processed stuff and the calories are crazy high so it is good to have an alternative! I made these with my kids last night and they had so much fun. I think they taste really good but next time I will have to find a way to sweeten up the crust a bit because they only wanted the center, lol!

Lovely to see a healthier version of this childhood icon. I know it takes more effort to bake things yourself, but you get the opportunity to put your love into it, and the tastier (and healthier) rewards are worth it! Well done!

I DID go through a phase as a kid when I LOVED pop tarts. Only the iced strawberry kind. Now I know I would find that way too sweet, but I would sure go for an uniced homemade one. Thank you for this recipe, I love how simple it is and I have lots of fruit-sweetened strawberry jam in my cupboards that would work perfectly in this! PS I love rustic baking. Your Pop Tarts are adorable! As is your daughter 🙂
