Were able to check out my latest appearance from Studio 5? Check out how to make your own pop tarts and your own fruit roll ups!
Pop Tarts
Ingredients:
- Easy Pie Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup milk ( 1 T. dry non-instant powdered milk or 2 T. instant milk + 1/3 cup water)
- ½ tsp. salt
- Filling:
- Use anything you would normally find in a Pop Tart. Jams and jellys are great for fruit filling. I also love honey and chopped nuts inside.
Method:
Mix flour, salt, and dry milk powder together. Add oil and mix until mixture is crumble, then add water (or fresh milk if that is what you are using). Stir until mixture forms a ball of dough. Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper to form a rectangle.
Cut dough into rectangles 6 inches wide by 5 inches high. Place filling on one half of the dough leaving ½ inch around sides. Fold over and pinch sides together with a fork to close.
Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Homemade Fruit Roll Ups
Ingredients:
- 2 cups freeze dried fruit (I like to do 1 c. strawberries and a ½ c. each of raspberries and blueberries)
- 1/3 cup warm water
Method:
Place fruit and water in blender and blend until very smooth. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Pour fruit mixture onto aluminum foil and spread evenly and thin on top of aluminum foil. Bake at 250 degrees for 25 minutes. WITH OUT OPENING YOUR OVEN DOOR, turn the oven off and let sit for 8 hours. After 8 hours, peel fruit leather off aluminum foil and place on wax, parchment or cling wrap. Cut into long strips with scissors and roll up.
I haven’t had a pop tart in years but those look yummy! Thanks for the idea.
On your recipe for fat-free granola bars, how much is 3 T. cup packed brown sugar. Please let me know so I can try these bars. They sound great. Thanks.
Do you think you could use fresh or frozen fruit to make the fruit leather. I don’t have freeze dried so I am wondering if the recipe would need to change for frozen berries?
Yes you just need to summer the fruit for 20 minutes before blending

The pop tarts would be so much healthier than store bought ones! I posted your link on my Friday Favorites.
Thanks!
My kids only eat the chocolate fudge or smore pop tarts. Any suggestions on how to make this crust chocolatey?
Thanks, CIndy
The pop tart recipes doesn’t have the white bean puree listed as in the video, so it’s a 1/4 cup bean water mixture?
Yes, good luck!
Can the pop tarts be food saved and put in freezer for future usage and or how long does it last before it goes bad? I’m due to have a baby any day now and have been making and freezing items to help out for my recovery time instead of having to make stuff while trying to rest. 🙂 Thanks!!
If using fresh or frozen fruit for the fruit leathers…you say to simmer it for 20 minutes first…but what measurements should I use? How much fresh/frozen fruit and how much liquid? Is it still 2 cups fruit to 1/3 cup liquid? I tried to do it on my own and it was raw at 4 hours and burnt at 5. Help! Thanks!

Just finished making a batch of pop tarts and granola bars. My pop tart dough was a bit dry but it worked out okay. I filled most of them with Nutella and a couple with lemon pie filling, My son loved the nutella ones. We haven’t tried the lemon ones yet but just a word of caution if you put to much lemon in they will leak all over 🙂 Granola bars look very yummy!! One question though if the granola bars don’t look moist enough is it best to add more bean puree or honey? Thanks for the great recipes. I can not wait for more knock offs…….maybe some stove top stuffing with home made bread??
