Ingredients
crust
  • ⅔ cup vegan butter
  • 2 cups spelt flour, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • ¼ + 2 tablespoons nondairy milk
  • dash of salt
filling
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup 100% fruit preserves
toppings
  • ½ cup coconut butter, melted
  • optional-sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. To prepare the crust, pulse all the ingredients in food processor or standup mixer until thoroughly combined. Roll the dough into a ball.
  3. Sprinkle the extra flour on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out until it's about ¼”- ⅓” thick. Use a knife to cut rectangles that are about 1½" x 2½".
  4. Transfer half of the rectangles to the baking sheet. Use a knife to spread about ½ teaspoon of peanut butter onto the center of each piece. Use a spoon to scoop about 1 teaspoon of fruit preserves on top.
  5. Place another rectangle piece on top and use your fingers to gently press the edges down. Use a fork to press the edges together and add texture.
  6. Bake for 23-26 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Transfer the pop-tarts to a cooling rack.
  7. Once the pop-tarts are room- temperature, spread 1 teaspoon of coconut butter on top of each. Add sprinkles and enjoy!
