Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons sugar-free jam (strawberry or raspberry)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Icing (optional):
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon heavy cream (or almond milk)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sugar-free sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare dough: In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, xanthan gum, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and pulse or cut in with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until a dough forms.
- Shape and fill: Divide the dough, roll into rectangles, cut into squares, and place jam in the center of half the squares. Top with the remaining squares, seal the edges with a fork, and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake: Bake the pop tarts for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet.
- Make icing: Mix powdered erythritol with cream and vanilla extract. Drizzle over cooled pop tarts and add sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for a week. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or freeze unbaked pop tarts for later use.
