Print

For the Dough:

• 3 cups almond flour

• ½ cup coconut flour

• ½ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

• ½ cup + 2 tablespoons water

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 4 teaspoons cinnamon

• 4 teaspoons coconut oil, melted

For the Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• Water to thin

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine all the dough ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract). Mix until a dough forms.

3. Create the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together all the filling ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil).

4. Assemble the Pop Tarts: On your prepared baking sheet, roll out balls of dough, about 1 ½ tablespoons in size. Flatten them. Add a spoonful of filling to the center of each flattened dough piece.

5. Shape it Up: Top the filling with another flattened piece of dough and pinch the edges together with a fork to seal.

6. Bake: Bake for about 17-20 minutes, or until the pop tarts turn golden brown.

7. Cool and Ice: Let the pop tarts cool while you mix up the icing. Mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a little water until you get a smooth consistency.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Spread the icing evenly over the top of the pop tarts and dig in!

Feel free to get creative! Need a Dairy-Free version? Simple. You can use any dairy-free butter substitute for the coconut oil if you prefer. Or if you want a chocolatey kick, add some cocoa powder to the dough or filling.

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage! Just wrap each pop tart individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag.
