Ingredients
Scale
For the Blueberry and Chia Jam Filling:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (or your favorite kind of berry)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
For the Mini Pop-Tarts and Glaze:
- Wholly Wholesome's Traditional Rolled Pie Crust (or any rolled pie crust*)
- 2 tsp almond milk for dabbing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- nonpareils
- 4-5 tsp almond milk for the glaze
For Assembly:
- almond milk (or your favorite kind of milk)
Instructions
Blueberry and Chia Jam Filling:
- In a medium-sized pan, bring the blueberries and maple syrup to a low boil (just until simmering). Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the chia seeds and cook down the mixture until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir frequently!
- Once cooled, spoon the jam into a small ziploc bar or pastry bag.
Mini Pop-Tarts:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Thaw the package according to directions. Unroll the pie crust.
- Cut the dough into little rectangles (I used a ruler to measure out 1.5" x 2").
- Create a spine across the middle of each rectangle.
- Dab milk across the edges and middle of each rectangle.
- Squeeze a little jam onto one side of each rectangle.
- Fold each piece of dough over and seal the edges lightly.
- Crimp each edge with a fork and place each pastry onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes.
Glaze:
- Sift the powdered sugar. Slowly add 1/2 tsp of milk at a time to the sugar. You want it to be thick, but spreadable.
- Once the pop-tarts have completely cooled, spread the icing onto each and sprinkle with nonpareils. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes or until hard.
- Enjoy the Pop-Tarts in milk!
