# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get all the nostalgic comfort of toaster pastries but with 10 grams of protein per tart that keeps you full for hours
- The dough comes together in minutes and bakes into something tender and satisfying that genuinely feels like an indulgence
02 -
- If your dough feels too dry and crumbly, add almond milk one teaspoon at a time until it comes together, but dont add too much or it will get sticky
- Let these cool completely before icing or the glaze will melt right off and youll lose that beautiful bakery finish
03 -
- Freeze unbaked assembled pop tarts on a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to a bag and bake straight from frozen, adding 2 to 3 minutes to the baking time
- For extra protein, whisk a scoop of vanilla powder directly into the jam before filling the tarts, but note it will make the filling slightly thicker
