Description
Indulge in the delectable combination of raspberries and protein-packed goodness with these homemade Raspberry Protein Pop Tarts. Flaky, buttery pastry surrounds a sweet and tangy raspberry filling, making this a guilt-free treat that’s perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert.
Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold water
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– 1/4 cup raspberry jam
– 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the cold water, mixing just until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 6 rectangles.
5. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries and mix with the raspberry jam and protein powder.
6. Place a heaping tablespoon of the raspberry filling onto the center of 3 of the rectangles. Top with the remaining 3 rectangles and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
7. Transfer the filled pop tarts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Allow the pop tarts to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a crispier crust, brush the top of the pop tarts with a beaten egg before baking. Substitute other berries or jams for different flavor variations.
