Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 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 (to mix with glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, softened butter, erythritol, and water. Stir well until a smooth, pliable dough forms.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface with almond flour and roll the dough out into a thin rectangular shape. Cut the dough into small rectangular pieces, similar in size to traditional pop tarts.
- Add the Jam Filling: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of your preferred sugar-free jam into the center of each dough rectangle, ensuring even distribution.
- Seal the Pop Tarts: Fold each dough piece over the jam to form a sealed pocket. Press the edges firmly together and crimp with a fork if desired for extra sealing and decorative effect.
- Bake the Pop Tarts: Arrange the sealed pop tarts on the prepared baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pop tarts turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Cool and Glaze: Allow the pop tarts to cool completely on a wire rack. Meanwhile, mix powdered erythritol with vanilla extract and a small amount of water to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled pop tarts.
- Serve: Enjoy your keto-friendly homemade pop tarts fresh as a delicious low-carb treat anytime.
Notes
- Be sure to use sugar-free jam to keep the recipe keto compliant.
- You can substitute erythritol with another keto-friendly sweetener if preferred.
- Store leftover pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a crispier crust, bake a few extra minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Make sure the pop tarts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
