Description

These homemade blueberry pop tarts feature a tender, flaky almond and tapioca flour crust filled with a sweet, tangy blueberry chia jam. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and lemon juice, these pop tarts are a healthier, gluten-free, and optionally vegan take on the classic treat. Topped with a blueberry-infused icing, they are perfect for breakfast or a snack and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:
1 cup frozen blueberries (fresh works too)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chia seeds
For the Crust:
2 cups almond flour
1 cup tapioca flour (plus more for rolling)
45 tablespoons ice water
45 tablespoons solid coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 egg for egg wash (optional)
For the Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon extra blueberry jam filling


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a pot over medium-low heat, cook the blueberries with lemon juice and maple syrup. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes until the blueberries soften. Break them up with a fork or spatula. Stir in chia seeds and set aside to cool.
Prepare the dough:
In a food processor or stand mixer, pulse together the almond flour and tapioca flour until well mixed. Add the coconut oil, water, and maple syrup, pulsing until a sticky dough forms. If it’s too dry, add more water. If too wet, add more tapioca flour.
Roll out the dough:
Divide the dough in half. On floured parchment paper, roll out each half to ¼-inch thickness. Cut the dough into six 3×5 inch rectangles. Place them 2 inches apart on parchment paper.
Fill and seal the pop tarts:
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry filling onto the dough rectangles, leaving space around the edges. Roll out the other half of the dough, cut into rectangles, and place on top of the filling. Seal the edges using the back of a fork. Optionally, brush with egg wash or melted coconut oil, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake:
Bake the pop tarts for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool before icing.
Make the icing:
In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk, vanilla, and the reserved blueberry jam until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled pop tarts and enjoy!
