Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tablespoons water
Filling
- ¼ cup sugar-free jam (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite)
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, softened butter, erythritol, and water. Stir until a smooth dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface with almond flour and roll the dough out into a thin rectangle. Cut the dough into small rectangular pieces roughly the size of traditional pop tarts.
- Add the Jam Filling: Place about 1 teaspoon of sugar-free jam in the center of half of the rectangular dough pieces.
- Seal the Pop Tarts: Fold a dough rectangle over the jam-filled one to form a pocket. Press the edges firmly to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal and decorative finish.
- Bake the Pop Tarts: Arrange the sealed pop tarts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.
- Cool and Glaze: Remove from the oven and allow the pop tarts to cool completely on a wire rack. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and water until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pop tarts for added sweetness and shine.
- Serve: Enjoy the keto-friendly pop tarts fresh as a delightful breakfast or snack treat.
Notes
- You can substitute erythritol with your preferred low-carb sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Make sure the butter is softened but not melted to create a flaky texture.
- Use sugar-free jam to keep these pop tarts keto-compliant.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Reheat in a toaster oven for a warm, fresh-baked flavor.
