Low cal pop tart (23 calories) vs normal pop tart (200 calories) I resisted a b/p by making these and I feel really good. š
Ingredients:
-2 Ā½ tbsp banana flour =16 cals
-20 grams fresh strawberries =7 cals
-salt (pink or white salt, pink is better for you!) =0
-water =0 cals, duh š¤£
-0 cal cooking spray
Instructions:
~Preheat oven to 350. I did it in the middle of the whole process but you can do it whenever youād like.~
1: add flour and a pinch of salt to bowl, mix then add water, mix again. Just add water bit by bit until it creates a dough. Itāll be a little bit sticky but thatās normal! It should barely stick though.
2: take out from bowl and play with it in your hands, kneed on counter for about 5 minutes.
3: shape into pop tart looking squares. I tried to use a rolling pin but Iām not very good with it (it kept sticking and I didnāt want to use more flour for it to not stick because that adds a bit more calories but if you donāt care for those few extra calories, use it! Do you. š) but I just used my fingers to shape it. I didnāt do it evenly. š¬
4: measure out strawberries, you wonāt need much! I used about 4 medium ones. Then microwave it for 30-45 seconds. Mash and mix for about a minute.
5: place parchment paper on pan, place first half of pop tart dough and then place mashed strawberries in the middle, spread evenly. Place other half of dough on top, press down with fork. Then cut little x on top to help it cook. You could do another shape too if youād like. A heart would be cute haha āŗļø
6: put zero calorie cooking spray in a small cup or container. (I used coconut oil cooking spray) brush on top of pop tart. I used the brush that my mom uses to put sauce on ribs and such! Not sure of the name but it works super well.
7: place pop tart in oven, let cook for 10 minutes, take it out and check it! You may need to add a bit more cooking spray since I did. Place for another 10 minutes. Mine cooked for about 16 minutes but I think it couldāve stayed a bit longer so I recommend 18-20 minutes!
8: take out pop tart and let cook for a bit. Peal from parchement paper and place on plate. (My poptart had pieces of parchement paper stick to it a little, no big deal though! Itās easy to peel off)
9: you can warm up more strawberries and add water to make a sauce to dip in, or place on top. Itās quite fragile though! Definitely not like a traditional pop tart and tastes more like a mini pie but still very good! Enjoy! ššš„§
To make other flavours:
-šš„§apple pie pop tart: you can warm up apples and cinnamon to make it a cinnamon apple pop tart!
-š«š„sāmores pop tart: add Walden farms zero cal marshmallow dip as filling, mix cocoa powder, splenda and water for chocolate filling! Mix graham crackers (blend them if you can or mash them for a while with hard object) in dough with cinnamon for a graham cracker taste.
-šš° banana cream pie pop tart: for filling use mashed bananas, vanilla and Walden farms marshmallow zero calorie dip as filling.
Iāll be trying the other flavours soon! š
