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.

- 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.
