Vic got me a pair of PopTart socks, so now I'm legally obligated to make a healthy version myself (those are the rules). It's a gluten free crust made of coconut flour, oat flour, and whey, with a homemade No Sugar Added Apple Spread filling, giving you a toaster pastry you can actually eat for breakfast. I also drizzled some melted peanut butter on top for healthy fats and some more protein. You can do everything the night before, and just toast/airfry the PopTart in the morning, making for a quick and easy breakfast with over 45 g of protein!

Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine together the crust ingredients (whey, syrup, cinnamon, salt, almond extract, yogurt, coconut flour, and oat flour). You should have a slightly sticky dough. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes for the oats to absorb the liquid

almond extract1.25g

oats⅓ cup

Step 2

Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, and lightly wet your hands. Flatten to an even thin rectangle, and scoop a little bit of filling onto half of it, spreading evenly

unsweetened apple butter20g

Step 3

I've used No Sugar Added Apple Spread for these PopTarts, but unsweetened applesauce would also work. Any low or no sugar jelly or jam (such as Low Sugar Berry Jam) would also work well as a filling, as well as date paste
