Indulge in So Damn Delish’s homemade gluten free pop tarts, delivering the perfect blend of taste and health for a delightful, guilt-free snack! Enjoy!

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 Pop Tarts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fruit preserves (your choice)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 tbsp cold water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Add the butter and sugar, mixing until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Form the Dough: Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. If it’s too dry, add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until the dough holds.
  3. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Shape the Pop Tarts: Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut it into equal rectangles (about 3×4 inches).
  5. Add the Filling: Place a teaspoon of fruit preserves in the center of half the rectangles. Top with another rectangle and seal the edges with a fork. Make small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake: Place the Pop Tarts on a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the Pop Tarts cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as-is or add a drizzle of icing for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover Pop Tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked Pop Tarts for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the baking time.

Glaze Option: For a quick glaze, mix powdered sugar with a few drops of milk and vanilla extract.
