How to make High Protein Pop Tarts

Making the Dough

Once you have all the ingredients ready, it's time to start making the dough:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, oat flour, chocolate protein powder, low-fat yogurt, and peanut butter. Mix them well until you achieve a dough-like consistency.

2. Once the dough is mixed, you can see it has a soft and pliable texture, perfect for rolling.

Assembling the Pop Tarts

Now that we have the dough ready, it's time to assemble our pop-tarts:

1. Roll the dough out gently into a rectangular shape, making sure it is about ¼ inch thick.

2. Trim the sides of the dough to create straight edges.

3. Cut the rolled dough in half lengthwise to make two equal rectangles.

4. On one half of the dough, spread melted dark chocolate and sprinkle some chocolate chips for an extra burst of flavor.

5. Carefully place the other half of the dough on top of the chocolate filling.

6. Use a fork to gently prick the sides of the dough, sealing the edges of the pop-tarts.

Baking and Finishing Touches

Now that our pop tarts are assembled, it's time to bake them and add the finishing touches:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F or ( 180 °C).

2. Place the assembled pop tarts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake them for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Once the pop tarts are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

5. To add a touch of decadence, you can drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top of the pop tarts. Alternatively, you can use sugar-free milk chocolate for a healthier option.

6. Lastly, refrigerate the pop tarts for 30-40 minutes before serving.

Remember to handle the unbaked pop tarts carefully as they have a tendency to break apart.

Hint: brush with egg wash for a perfect golden brown crispy top over pop tarts.
