)
Do you ever crave breakfast pastries on the weekend? Or maybe you remember eating the classic “Pop-tart” when you were younger and the little kid in you wants to enjoy that nostalgic, sweet flavor from your childhood?
Of course, the downside to eating these treats is the excessive amounts of sugar, empty calories, artificial chemicals, and unhealthy ingredients…ugghh.
What if we told you that you could enjoy the taste of a poptart without the guilt or the weird processed ingredients?

- 1 3/4 C Almond flour

- 1 TSP Baking powder
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 4 TBSP Melted butter
- 2 TBSP Almond Milk
- 2 TBSP Granulated sweetener (ie. allulose)

- To make the bars, mix all bar ingredients together until you have a dough. Using an 8×8 parchment-lined pan, press half the dough into the pan.
- Spread your strawberry jelly on top and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and top with remaining dough.
- Bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes until dough is set. Let cool and then mix you glaze ingredients and spread over the top.
- Optional, add sprinkles to the top! Cut and enjoy!
