gluten free vegan pop tarts

February 14, 2016 by Sarah 18 Comments

Gluten Free Vegan Pop Tarts. Such a fun, nostalgic treat, just made allergen free!Pop tarts, oh pop tarts. How I’ve missed you. As a kid, pop tarts were like having dessert for breakfast. They’re pretty much just pie pockets that you heat up in the toaster. Maybe that’s why I liked them so much. Warm, frosted pie on-the-go. A total win for any kid!

My favorite pop tarts were always the strawberry ones with the sprinkles. I’m convinced sprinkles make any dessert taste better. I just loved that overly sweet strawberry filling. Anything strawberry was always my first pick.

For this homemade pop tart recipe, I’ve taken flakey pie crust and filled it with a strawberry preserves filling. You could also use raspberry, cherry or blueberry. All would of course be yummy. Once cooled, spread on a simple vanilla glaze and top with sprinkles. You’ve got yourself a tray of adorable pop tarts. Allergen free too!

    These are gorgeous! One of my daughter’s favorite treats from a local bakery are their “Pie Tarts” which have dairy and gluten. I can’t wait to make these so that everyone in our family can enjoy them!

    My husband loves pop tarts and I rarely let him buy them because my oldest son can’t have them so when I saw this I told him we are making them and we did so this morning! We need more practice with the dough (if I could post a picture I would) but it was so fun to watch my husband and three year old share pop tarts! Thank you!

    How long will they hold in the refrigerator? Can these be reheated in the toaster after they have been refrigerated?

    Hi, is cold coconut oil a good substitute for the vegan butter? It’s very difficult to find the vegan butter where I live. My daughter is having a terrible dairy intolerance so I’m trying to stick to a vegan diet.

      You can try using cold coconut oil, but the texture may change as it is a solid oil when cold.

    These turned out beautifully! I didn’t frost ours, because we don’t enjoy super sweet baked goods, but they were a huge hit at breakfast! I even made Brown Sugar and Cinnamon ones! Those were my favorite flavor growing up, and they were my Daughter’s favorite before I really learned about healthy diets and the junk that goes into processed foods. We were thrilled to have Pop Tarts back in our lives! ♡

    I think I did something wrong. Mine were all spread out. They melted into one big blob. I used coconut oil since I don’t have access to vegan butter. Please help

      Coconut oil will bake much differently than vegan butter. The fat content is much higher.

      Shortening may work better than coconut oil. I use a pie crust recipe that uses shortening and it holds up really well. My daughter is allergic to dairy and soy so I buy spectrum shortening, I’m sure any would work though.

    Loved them! My toddler is allergic to 17 different foods, so he’s never had pop tarts. He absolutely LOVED these! Thank you so much so sharing this delicious recipe!
