The best vegan pop tarts<\/h3>\n

As a kid growing up, I went through the biggest Pop-Tarts phase.<\/p>\n

My favorite flavors were frosted chocolate fudge and brown sugar cinnamon, and I sometimes ate them for both breakfast and after school snack in the same day.<\/p>\n

Initially, I thought going vegan meant giving up Pop-Tarts, but thankfully it is surprisingly easy to make your own homemade frosted vegan pop tarts.<\/p>\n

These dairy free and egg free toaster pastries are fully plant based, with no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors or colors.<\/p>\n

You get a healthy breakfast pastry that includes fiber, iron, and over five grams of protein. Plus, each jam filled pop tart contains just eight grams of sugar.<\/p>\n

Vegans and non vegans will love the recipe, for breakfast, snack, or dessert!<\/p>\n

Are Pop-Tarts vegan?<\/h3>\n

Packaged frosted Pop-Tarts contain gelatin in the icing and are therefore unsuitable for those on a vegan diet.<\/p>\n

While all unfrosted varieties and their snickerdoodle flavor appear to be free of butter and other animal products, the Kellanova company (formerly Kellogg) does not confirm whether any of their products are vegan.<\/p>\n

All the more reason to make DIY pop tarts at home.<\/p>\n

The crust is flakier, the filling is thicker, and the flavor options are endless. You can enjoy them frosted or unfrosted, with as many toppings as you wish.<\/p>\n

Vegan pop tart flavors<\/h3>\n

Try all 15 flavors here, or create a new flavor of your own!<\/p>\n

Then top your pastry tarts with mini chocolate chips or homemade Vegan Toffee<\/a>, rainbow sprinkles, shredded coconut, raw cacao nibs, cereal or granola. <\/p>\n

Frosted Strawberry: <\/strong>Follow the recipe below, using strawberry jam. Stir one ripe mashed strawberry or a spoonful of freeze dried strawberry powder into the frosting. If you want that classic pink flavor, add a few drops of natural food coloring.<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter and Jelly:<\/strong> Substitute peanut butter for 1\/4 cup of the jam, and reduce the cornstarch to just 1 tablespoon.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie:<\/strong> Replace the strawberry jam with canned pumpkin pie mix, or pure pumpkin puree and a little cinnamon and sugar. (Do still add the cornstarch.)<\/p>\n

Apple Cinnamon:<\/strong> Very finely dice a large apple, mix it with the cornstarch and 1\/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Spread on top of half the unbaked rectangles of pastry dough.<\/p>\n

Lemon Blueberry:<\/strong> Go with blueberry jam, and stir the zest of one lemon into the filling. If frosting, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and sprinkle additional zest on top.<\/p>\n

Cinnamon Roll:<\/strong> Use the brown sugar filling below, and top the finished tarts with your favorite vegan alternative to Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.<\/p>\n

Cheesecake:<\/strong> Stir 1\/3 cup of softened vegan cream cheese with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a teaspoon of cornstarch. Tip: Replace just half the jam with cream cheese filling, and it tastes like a vegan cream cheese Danish.<\/p>\n

Savory Pop Tarts:<\/strong> No one says you must stick to sweet and sugary fillings. For a savory hand pie, add saut\u00e9ed vegetables and vegan cheese. Or fill your pop tarts with crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, and spinach.<\/p>\n

Chocolate pop tarts<\/h3>\n

Nutella: <\/strong>Swap the jam filling for a 1\/2 cup of Homemade Nutella<\/a> or any store bought plant based chocolate hazelnut spread. Top with more chocolate spread after baking.<\/p>\n

Dark Chocolate:<\/strong> Skip the jelly and add about 2 teaspoons of chilled chocolate fudge sauce or chocolate spread per pop tart instead. Top with chocolate frosting.<\/p>\n

S\u2019mores:<\/strong> See the dark chocolate flavor above, and sprinkle on a handful of mini vegan marshmallows along with the chocolate filling.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Banana Bread:<\/strong> Use mashed banana in place of the jam in the recipe below. Ice with chocolate frosting or melted chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

Cookies and Creme:<\/strong> Fill each pocket tart with vanilla frosting and crushed OREO cookies. Then add more frosting and OREOs to the top before serving.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Covered Raspberry:<\/strong> Go with raspberry jam instead of strawberry. Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips into the filling, then add chocolate frosting at the end.<\/p>\n

Vegan brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts<\/h3>\n

Brown sugar pop tarts are so good, they deserve their own category.<\/p>\n

For the brown sugar filling<\/strong>, combine 1\/3 cup brown sugar (packed) with 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1\/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1\/8 teaspoon salt.<\/p>\n

Whisk in a small bowl, then add hot water 1 teaspoon at a time to create a thick paste.<\/p>\n

Use this filling instead of jam, and frost your homemade vegan brown sugar pop tarts with the brown sugar cinnamon icing recipe written out below. <\/p>\n

And while you have the brown sugar out, whip up a Vegan Coffee Cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n
