Instructions
- Prepare the filling by placing the rhubarb, strawberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and tapioca starch into a pot over medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes until thickened.
- Make the dough in a food processor by blending gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, maple syrup, cold vegan butter, and sea salt until crumbly. Add cold water until dough forms.
- Assemble the pop tarts by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment. Fill half of the dough circles and top with slits cut in the remaining circles.
- Brush with egg wash before baking for 24-27 minutes until golden brown and flaky. Cool on a wire rack.
- Make the glaze by whisking together strawberry-rhubarb filling, almond milk, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Glaze the cooled pop tarts with the prepared mixture for added sweetness.
