Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts

Melissa King 52 Comments

I made you gluten free pumpkin pie pop tarts.  Yes you read that title right. While I was at Target the other day, I happened to notice a box of Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts.

You can see the very long list of ingredients here. That gave me an idea to create my own gluten free pop tart recipe.

My gluten free pop tart recipe is healthier than that boxed version.  I filled these with a pumpkin pie filling, but you can really fill them with whatever you like.

I used the base recipe for my Homemade Pop Tarts and just changed a few things around.  These came out 10 times better than my original pop tart recipe.  These would be great with a glass of almond milk.

    Healthy Homemade Pop Tarts

    I made Healthy Homemade Pop Tarts for you.  I have been thinking about doing a pop tart recipe for quite some time.  After looking at the ingredients on the label, I knew I would never buy those again.

    You can get decent store bought pop tarts with the Nature’s Path brand, but I wanted a homemade pop tart version as well.  Now, I know that store bought pop tarts are normally crisp.  I tried two batches and mine didn’t get crispy.

    Mine are on the softer side.  Most likely due to the applesauce and coconut oil.  However, all my taste testers thought they were good.  So I thought I would share anyway. 🙂  Maybe if you put them in a toaster oven, they will crisp up.

    I filled mine with two different fillings.  Some have my Blueberry Chia Jam and some have my Homemade Vegan Nutella. Make these ahead of time for a quick breakfast on those busy mornings.

      8. Using a bench scraper , cut the dough in half.
