The best part of waking up, for me, USED to be getting to eat a Pop Tart. This was when I was 12, but I remember them being so awesome. It felt so much like a dessert, yet somehow it was for breakfast. I didn’t care, because I was a kid and had no concerns about sugar content, preservatives, or grain consumption. They just tasted delicious and put a smile on my face! I still remember burning my fingers taking them out of the toaster before letting them a cool a minute.
Grain-Free Pop Tarts We Can Eat!
As an adult I realize that these treats were created in laboratories specifically designed to make them irresistible to young palates. The concept of a fruit-filled biscuit with frosting is a winner, but can’t there be a grain-free, refined-sugar free, paleo version? The answer is yes! The secret ingredient is Otto’s Cassava Flour which you can purchase by clicking here.
This is what our Executive Chef came up with. We think you’ll love it!

Have you considered the huge impact this has on your blood sugar…the recipe has to be about 900g of carbs or 5 cups of sugar. We don’t really need a grain-free pop tart for breakfast! Wouldn’t this be about 900 grams of carbs per recipe or 5 cups of sugar.
Hi Erin!
We somewhat agree with you. However, this recipe isn’t for one serving. It’s for about 20 pop tarts Erin. Coming from a parent’s point of view, I’d much rather give my son (a toddler who won’t eat some of our more nutrient dense options, as tots are sometimes very picky) a real food option that contains beef gelatin and real fruit versus the crap in the store with additives, preservatives and processed garbage. We don’t condone eating treats on a regular basis but we do try to give AIP and Paleo options.
Thank you so much for this recipe! It is so hard for children who are on restricted diets, to feel like normal kids when their friends eat treats they cannot have. Obviously, anyone following a grain-free, Paleo or AIP diet is very likely to be well-versed in the nutrition and in the concept of moderation with regards to indulgences and treats, and can make their own grown-up decisions regarding their diet. Thanks, I can’t wait to try it!
We feel the same way Maggie! I’m a parent and it’s nice to have a real food treat for children with a gluten intolerance. Stay tuned… we will soon be selling these at Paleo on the Go to make it even easier for you and other parents! We’re happy we could help out.
