Strawberry Glaze

  • cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp milk of choice
  • splash of vanilla extract
  • optional: freeze dried strawberries (to make pink)
  • optional: sprinkles (to top)

Instructions
 

For the Stovetop Strawberry Chia Jam

  • Heat up sliced strawberries in a small pan with maple syrup. Cook until fruit has softened.
  • Remove from pan and mash strawberries with a fork.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and chia seeds.
  • Transfer to a heat safe container and chill in the fridge to allow the jam to thicken.

For the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, combine milk of choice and egg.
  • Add the wet mixture and the butter to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix with a hand mixer until a soft dough forms.
  • Chill the dough in the freezer for 15-30 mins.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  • Transfer the dough to floured parchment paper. Roll the dough into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
  • Using a knife, cut the dough into even rectangles (or shape of choice)
  • Place half of the rectangles on a lined baking tray, and spoon 1-2 tbsp of the chia jam on each.
  • Using your finger, gently brush a little bit of water along the edges of each rectangle. Carefully place the remaining rectangles on top.
  • Crimp the edges together using a fork.
  • Bake for about 15 mins or until lightly golden brown. Allow the pop tarts to cool before topping with the glaze.

For the Strawberry Glaze

  • Blend freeze dried strawberries (if using) along with powdered sugar in a blender.
  • Mix in vanilla extract and slowly add in milk of choice until desired consistency is reached.
  • Sprinkle on sprinkles if desired. Place in the fridge to allow the glaze to set.
  • Enjoy!
