Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 0.75 cup Almond Flour Use finely ground almond flour for best results.
  • 0.75 cup Tapioca Starch
  • 0.25 cup Vanilla Protein Powder Can be substituted with chocolate protein powder for variation.
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Butter, Unsalted Can substitute with vegan butter.
  • 1 whole Egg Substitute with a flax egg for a vegan option.
For the filling
  • 1 cup Raspberries, Organic
  • 2 Tbsp Water
  • 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds Adds texture to the jam.
  • 2 Tbsp Collagen Optional, for added protein.
  • 2 Tbsp Raspberry Juice For frosting.
  • 0.75 cup Powdered Monkfruit Sweetener For frosting, adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation of Dough
  1. Process the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, and butter together until you achieve a crumbly texture.
  2. Add the egg and process once more until a dough forms.
  3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, forming a disc shape, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Preparation of Raspberry Jam
  1. Warm the organic raspberries and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until they become easily muddled.
  2. Incorporate the chia seeds, and once removed from the stove, mix in the collagen for added protein.
  3. Set the jam aside to cool.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Sprinkle some tapioca flour on a piece of parchment paper, then roll out the dough into a rectangle, covering it with another sheet of parchment to prevent sticking.
  2. Using a pizza cutter, trim the edges and slice the dough into 10 equal rectangles.
  3. Transfer the parchment with the dough onto a baking sheet.
  4. Dollop the chia jam into the center of five rectangles and place the remaining five pieces of dough on top.
  5. Seal the edges with a fork, while poking holes into the tops for steam to escape.
  6. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
Preparing Frosting
  1. Extract the raspberry juice using a fine mesh strainer and mix it with the powdered Monkfruit sweetener until you reach the desired consistency.
  2. Spread the frosting over the cooled pop tarts.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage, placing them in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers.
