Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

  1. Take two slices of bread and make a light indentation in the center of each to form a small pocket. Be careful not to tear the bread.
  2. Brush the beaten egg around the perimeter of both slices of bread.

Step 2: Add the Filling

  1. Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of sugar-free strawberry preserves inside the indentation on one slice of bread. Keep the preserves away from the edges to avoid leakage.
  2. Cover with the second slice of bread, aligning the edges. Press down lightly to seal the edges.

Step 3: Seal the Edges

  1. Brush the edges of the sandwich with more egg wash.
  2. Crimp the edges closed with a fork to ensure the filling stays inside.
  3. Lightly brush the top of the sandwich with egg wash as well.

Step 4: Air Fry the Pop Tarts

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).
  2. Place the prepared sandwiches in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.
  3. Air fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove from the air fryer and let cool completely before eating to allow the jam to set.

Step 5: Prepare the Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, sugar-free vanilla pudding mix, Greek yogurt, and Swerve confectioners.
  2. Add a few drops of cold water to achieve an icing-like consistency.
  3. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Frost and Serve

  1. Once the pop tarts have cooled completely, spread the prepared frosting over the top of each.
  2. Sprinkle with FlavorGod Buttery Cinnamon Roll seasoning for added flavor.
  3. Serve and enjoy!
