Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Otto's Naturals cassava flour
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 3/4 cup cold organic, grass-fed butter (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1/4 cup + 1-2 T. ice cold water

Filling

  • organic, gluten-free jam

Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. organic beet powder
  • 2 T. coconut milk beverage

Instructions

  • Add the cassava flour and salt to a food processor. Chop the cold butter up into 1/4" thick chunks and add them to the food processor.
  • Pulse the mixture until the butter is finely chopped and the mixture is crumbly. Add 1/4 cup ice cold water and pulse a few times. Add the remainder of the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to form a crumbly ball.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Form the dough into a ball and split the dough in half.
  • Working with one half of the dough, gently press the dough into a thick rectangle. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle that is 8"x10". Use your hands to straighten out the edges and make them smooth.
  • Cut the rectangle into 6 pieces. Transfer each smaller rectangle onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough but don't transfer the small rectangles to the baking sheet yet.
  • Separate one small rectangle from the cut dough onto a cutting board. Spoon some jam onto the rectangle, leaving at least 1/4" of space around the edges. The jam can be about 1/8" thick.
  • Take one of the rectangles from the baking sheet and place it over the jam filled rectangle on the cutting board. Place your hand over the top of the pop-tart and use a fork to press down all the edges of the pop-tart. Use the fork to poke 3 sets of holes on the top of the pop-tart.
  • Transfer the finished pop-tart back to the baking sheet and repeat the assembling process with the remaining 5 pairs of dough rectangles. Place the baking sheet with the pop-tarts on it in the freezer.
  • Let the pop-tarts chill in the freezer for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, keep the pop-tarts in the freezer and preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Once the oven is preheated, bake the pop-tarts for 30-35 minutes. The edges will be just starting to get lightly browned.
  • Allow the pop-tarts to cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before icing them.
  • For the icing, combine all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Add the coconut milk slowly until the mixture is thick but spreadable. Apply the icing to the pop-tarts and add some organic sprinkles!
  • Enjoy! Note: I don't recommend toasting pop-tarts that have icing on them.
