These Homemade Pop-Tarts are so easy and ever so slightly healthier than store-bought ones. They are made with a slightly altered version of Weight Watcher’s 2-ingredient dough and whatever fillings you fancy and have on hand.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Self raising flour
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbs white sugar
  • 1 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 egg

For the Filling:

  • Strawberry preserves
  • Chocolate can use chocolate chips or a baking chocolate slab broken into pieces
  • Marshmallows

For the vanilla icing

  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1-3 tsp almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate icing

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2-4 tsp almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Then make the dough by placing the self-raising flour, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and mixing it all with a spatula. When slightly incorporated, use your hands to knead the dough more, so it forms into a malleable dough.
  • Place the dough onto a floured surface. Then, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rough, thin rectangle. You can trim the edges a bit to neaten it up.
  • Cut the dough into 6 equal rectangles.
  • Fill 3 of the rectangles with strawberry preserves, or chocolate + marshmallows, or any filling you prefer.
  • Then, brush the edges of the 3 unfilled rectangles and place them over the filled ones. Gently press the edges together. After that, use a fork and crimp the edges all around.
  • Brush with egg mixture and place in the oven to bake at 350 degrees F for 22-25 minutes.
  • When done, remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Then, make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, and/or cocoa powder, vanilla, and enough milk to get a thick consistency. Spread this on top.
  • Enjoy!
