Recipe type: Fruit Desserts
Yield: 6 pop tarts
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ⅓ cup cold butter or coconut oil (solid, not melted)
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • ⅓ cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 egg whites, whisked until very frothy
  • ½ cup berry preserves (organic and fruit-sweetened)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the cassava flour, salt, and baking soda.
  3. Cut in the coconut oil until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the egg, water, and maple syrup. Stir just until dough comes together.
  5. Form dough into a ball.
  6. Roll dough out on a cassava floured surface in a 12"x12" rectangle. (I recommend using a ruler to measure and cutting off excess with a pizza cutter to get it nice and square.)
  7. Cut the dough into twelve 3"x4" rectangles with a pizza cutter.
  8. Run a thin spatula underneath the rectangles to make sure they aren't sticking to the counter.
  9. Brush the tops of all the rectangles with beaten egg white.
  10. On half of the rectangles, place a heaping tablespoon of preserves.
  11. Top with the other rectangles, egg white side down against the preserves.
  12. Crimp all the edges with a fork.
  13. Brush the tops with beaten egg white.
  14. Cut 2-3 vents on the top of each pop tart.
  15. For very neat-looking pop tarts, cut off excess dough on the edges of the tarts to create nice straight edges.
  16. Carefully transfer the pop tarts to greased baking sheet.
  17. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  18. Enjoy!
Notes
Using damp hands and as much cassava flour as needed on the counter helps with handling the dough. Don't handle the dough too much. Be patient and be deliberate for best results.
