Vegan & Gluten-free Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart for One
This brown sugar cinnamon pop tart is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, simple to make, and so delicious!
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together your pastry dough ingredients until you have a dough.
- Split the dough in half and roll one half onto the parchment paper to create a rectangle. Mix up your brown sugar filling and spread this evenly onto this piece of dough. Roll out the other half of dough into the same size rectangle and place it on top of the filling.
- Pinch the edges together using a fork. Bake for about 17-19 minutes. Let cool.
- Mix together your icing and add to the pop tart. Enjoy!

Can you sub anything for almond flour ?
Sami Smith
Hi Beckie! I have only tried this recipe with almond flour, however, my best recommendation would be finely ground oat flour or cassava flour. Let me know if you give it a try:)
Meredith
Any thoughts on way to make the chocolate pop tart filling? That was my daughter’s favorite.
Amy Graham Mullins
Alternative to almond flour? My 10 year old has a tree nut allergy. Coconut is fine. But almond isn’t.
Anna
Try buckwheat.

Hi Amy! I have only tried this recipe with almond flour, however, my best recommendation would be finely ground oat flour or cassava flour. I hope one of these works for you:)
Lauren Mallon
Just an fyi! Cassava flour is often contaminated by lead due to the soil it’s grown in! I may try with oat flour since my kiddo has a tree nut allergy too
Audrey
Yummm! I didn't have any vanilla extract so I did a splash of almond extract and the flavor was similar to that of a bear claw! Probably would be good with toasted silvered almonds and the icing thinned with a bit of OJ and orange zest. Have you made these with a jam filling?
Kelsey Kelsch
I’ve tried it twice, but I can’t seem to be able to pinch the top and bottom together without it breaking apart. I’ve tried more oil and water… Not sure what to try
Sami Smith
Hi Kelsey! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with the pastry dough. Is your almond flour finely ground? Sometimes if the almond flour isn't finely ground, the dough doesn't hold together as well.
Audrey
Hi, I struggled with the dough too. I found that folding one side of the parchment over the top helped, and pressing the sides into the back of a spatula helped shape it better. Couldn't get the nice fork marks though. Think next time I'll try grinding my almond flour in a coffee grinder see if that helps.

What are the macros/ nutritional facts on this?
Natalie
I tried these and the bottom was super soggy and didn’t cook 🙁
Jordan
While mine wasn’t near as pretty as the pictures, it was so delicious! And I had everything I needed in the pantry, a plus! This will make it a little easier going dairy free for my breastfed babe.
Kelly Nelson
Can you make these the night before?
Jodie
I have made many recipes using the paleo safe flours, but recently found I have a coconut allergy! Any substitutions that will still make this recipe work and other recipes as well?
Pam
I love your recipes! Any ideas of what I could substitute for the coconut flour and oil? Thanks!
Stacey
Is there a reason this has to be refrigerated?
Sami Smith
Hi Stacey! No, they just seem to stay fresh longer and hold together better in the fridge:) They don't have to be refrigerated!
Cassandra Russell
Doubled the recipe to make two and it worked perfect!! My fave pop tarts so no going back to store bought.
Gen
Can you freeze these?
Abbey
Can you use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar?
Lisa Carlson Carlson
Has anyone tried to make a strawberry filling?
