Why You’ll Love These Sugar Cookie Pop Tarts
- They’re gluten free, refined sugar free, & made with much cleaner ingredients than you’d find in store bought pop tarts
- The dough is pretty easy to work with
- You can use a vegan butter stick to keep these dairy free
- They are totally customizable with berry fillings, and other flavors, too! Scroll down to see the various other Pop Tart flavors I’ve made!


Key Ingredients
- Almond flour – grain free flour that makes these nice and dense, and gluten free!
- Tapioca Flour– because almond flour is denser, it does not absorb as much moisture as other flours. The tapioca helps balance the almond butter for the perfect soft dough that it isn’t too dry & crumbly either
- French vanilla protein powder – Acts as a flour while adding a boost of protein! I used Just Ingredients brand, which is clean ingredient and 3rd party tested for heavy metals. My code colleenF10 saves you sitewide
- Cashew Butter – I’ve tried 3 times to make the filling with more butter and/or ghee to bring out that sugar cookie flavor, but the filling just melts completely when baked! Cashew butter acts as the base of the filling, leaving a cookie dough like taste, but once you add the butter extract – you get that classic sugar cookie taste!

- 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder

- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How to Make Sugar Cookie Pop Tarts
- Cut your cold butter into slices
- Place flours, protein, and butter into a processor or blender and process until crumbly
- Add egg and blend again until dough is achieved
- Place your dough in plastic wrap, or beeswax wrap, flatten into a disc, wrap, and refrigerate for 30min + (if your dough is sticky spray a silicone spatula with nonstick spray to retrieve from the processor)
- Dust a surface with more flour, and roll dough into a large rectangle
- Use a pizza cutter to slice into 10 rectangles
- Place half those rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Make filling by whisking ingredients together, then spoon onto centers of dough rectangles
- Place remaining 5 rectangles overtop, seal the edges with your fingers, then a fork to fully seal edges
- Use your fork to poke holes in the top
- Bake at 350 for 20 min
- Allow to cool 5 min, then place on cooling rack
- Beat your ghee and sugar together until creamy, then beat again with milk. Add more milk as needed to thin it out
- Spread overtop your pop tarts, top with dye-free sprinkles, and enjoy!
- Frosting will harden once refrigerated


I love how easy it to just add all of the filling ingredients to a blender, mix, and pour!
Bonus: While the bake
Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Dairy free – use a vegan butter stick in place of the butter
- I do not recommend using a different type of flour here. I have tried homemade pop tarts with gluten free 1:1 flour and with cassava flour and they were very dry in my opinion. The almond flour dough keeps these nice and dense!
- I haven’t tried, but a flax egg should work fine in place of the egg to keep fully vegan.
- Powdered sugar in filling – you can also use pure maple syrup to sweeten, but omit the milk. Your filling will be slightly darker in color, but still tasty. See image below
