Last weekend I made homemade pop tarts. Homemade Blueberry Pop Tarts, to be specific, and they were a huge hit all week. I always feel so much better about serving something homemade to my kids, even if it’s on the sweet side. My 11-year-old son says he likes these pop tarts even better than the store-bought kind. And here’s the thing: There’s less sugar in the homemade version, and there’s no preservatives or additives. Win-win.
Whip up a batch of these homemade pop tarts, and take the hassle out of breakfast time (yes, these breakfast pastries work as a bribe for slow movers on school mornings). I make double batches and freeze half so I’m all set for two weeks. Ready to bake? Here’s how to make homemade pop tarts.
