Homemade Pop-tarts anyone??? YUMM!!

kelseyk14

3 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup yogurt, plain
5 oz. fruit jelly or jam, any flavor (organic, low sugar)

Begin by mixing the flour, salt, butter and yogurt. If you want to soak this dough overnight to break down the phytic acid and make the grains more digestible, go for it. Just be sure to soak the dough on the counter overnight, not in the fridge, or the dough will be terrible to work with! (The recipe will work with or without this step.)
Knead the dough just a little bit to make it nice and workable. Roll out the dough on a large, well floured surface. Use a knife to cut the dough into the desired poptart size you would like. I tried to cut mine into “normal” poptart sizes. But nothing I ever do is very normal so I came out with a nice variety of sizes.

Place about a 1/2 teaspoon of jelly on 1/2 of the dough rectangles (squares?).
Spread the jelly around, leaving the edges free.

Find a second square or rectangle or thingamajigger that matches closely
with each jellied one. Place it on top and use a fork to seal the edges.

Lay each poptart in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.

This recipe makes around 15-20 poptarts, depending on how big you make them.

Did you do a nutrtional break down on these? Sounds easy and fun!

No I dont But you can type the recipe in the recipe tool on here and divide it by how many you make and it will tell you!! It depends on how many you make with the recipe. Sometimes it can be 20 other times 15 which would effect the calorie count.

With the butter I have had success using half butter and half coconut butter or almond butter

Do you think coconut oil would work instead of the butter?
