I don’t know about you guys, but I was never a huge pop tart person growing up. Now, give me an oatmeal cream pie and I’m in heaven. But, now I think I have grown to enjoy the delicious pop tarts and how many awesome flavors their are. Of course, I always think the homemade ones that are thicker and packed with more filling are way better. But that’s just me. So, what did I do? I made Pumpkin Pie Protein Poptarts.
Pumpkin Pie Protein Poptarts
Like I said, homemade pop tarts are always better than regular ones. You can’t beat the flaky crust, much more filling, and simply just the satisfaction of enjoying one with a cup of coffee. But, as you know, I can’t have a delicious dessert without trying to make it protein-packed and macro-friendly. So, that is exactly what we did here.
More than just a pop tart…
Believe it or not, this can also be tuned into a delicious protein pumpkin pie, so stay tuned for that. But, it is really just as easy as rolling out all the dough into a pie dish, adding the pumpkin filling, which you may need to make double the recipe to fill out the whole pie, and bake! Anyways, that will be coming later this month / early next month.
Versatile dough
Like I mentioned above, just as the pop tart dough can be used for a pumpkin pie, you can also go crazy with the filling for this pop tart. Want a blueberry pop tart? Go for it. Or maybe you are feeling a strawberry one? No problem. You could even go all in with a s’mores one!
One of the keys to this recipe is to brush the tops and edges with a little bit of egg wash. It will help it get crispy and brown without having to use butter in the dough. It helps keep them super macro-friendly and amazingly delicious!
Anyway, enough of my blabbering. Check out the recipe below. And I have mentioned on my Instagram a good bit, but due to being out of stock of our Macro1 ONE Protein (hopefully back in stock in the next week or two), we are going to be offering you 20% off ONE Greens and MORE Pre-Workout.
