With Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought I would share the easiest and sweetest recipe…
- Ingredients for HOMEMADE POP TARTS!
- 1-Jam of your choice
- 2- Ready-to-bake pie crust (2)
- Bake @ 400 degrees for 13-18 minutes (or until slightly brown on top)
(Topping- Milk, vanilla extract, confectionary sugar, crisco). No measuring necessary— I eyeball the amounts and stir until I get the consistency I want… (Who’s with me on this? Can you tell I’ve made a lot of baked goods?)
Parchment paper- for easy clean up!
Now…when I made these the first time, I cut out cute little shapes and made the pop tarts look “perfect”. Nahhhhh…that’s a waste of time. Your kids (or really anyone) will gobble these up so fast, who cares?
Check out the stage of events that lead to HOMEMADE POP TARTS!
(and most likely distracted by lego-talk with your kiddo…)
Pop tarts should have slight browning on top.
But if you want to add frosting, see next photo…
I like simple recipes for early morning baking. These took me about 10 minutes prep time and 13 minutes (in my oven) to bake. I whipped up the frosting in about 5 minutes (was a bit lazy and didn’t even use a mixer, so add on 5 minutes to that since I needed a step stool to reach the food coloring and sprinkles 😉
I waited about another 5 minutes to cool some down (I sliced some pop tarts in 1/2 to cool faster). So within about 35 minutes this was a start to finish breakfast hit!
Thank you for checking out this recipe! Let me know in the comments below if you would make these or if you have already!! Have a happy Valentines Day! ❤ Hannah
