Ingredients
– 1 cup rolled oats for hearty base
– 1/2 cup whey protein powder for high-quality protein boost
– 1/3 cup almond butter for healthy fats and creaminess
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup for natural sweetening
– 1 teaspoon baking powder for helping the tarts rise
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2-Next, in a large bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup whey protein powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder; mix until evenly blended.
3-Then, add 1/3 cup almond butter and 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the dry mix, stirring thoroughly until a dough forms that holds together well.
4-If the dough feels too dry, mix in a splash of plant-based milk to reach a pliable consistency, especially for vegan or gluten-free versions.
5-Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut it into rectangular shapes for that classic Pop Tart look.
6-Place your favorite fillings like jam or extra nut butter on half of the rectangles, then cover with the other pieces and seal the edges tightly to prevent leaks.
7-Brush the tops with a light layer of plant-based milk for a golden finish, then bake for 15-18 minutes until they turn a perfect golden brown.
