Clean & Healthy Home Made Pop Tarts

 

 

 

I adventured to find a healthy clean breakfast option for my son! I pay $2.99 for a package of 6 pop tarts which is wildly expensive but I do it because having a clean healthy option for a quick breakfast food for my son/children is so worth it!

I googled lots of recipes to get a general idea of how to go about making a pastry crust. I did create my own recipe and let me just say "We ALL love them!" The kids were like "Wow, Mommy nice job these are SO Good!"

Pop Tart Crust Recipe & Ingredients

• 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour

• 1 tbsp Agave
• 3 tbsp Milk (almond milk)
• 1/4 cup of plain Greek Yogurt

Blend Ingredients and then refrigerate if desired.  Roll out onto floured surface. Use a knife to cute into rectangles or for child fun you can use a large shaped cookie cutter (as you can see I chose a heart shape ♥)
