Giant Strawberry Pop-Tart

Everything’s bigger in Texas… Go BIG or go home… I could keep going with these phrases all day! This GIANT Pop-Tart is the perfect thing to bake on any weekend or otherwise lazy morning. It’s big. It’s beautiful. It’s literally one of the best things to wake up to, and while we’re here in the thick of summer my oven can ONLY be used early in the morning.

So. Here we are.

It’s early on a Sunday morning and I’m up making the biggest Pop-Tart my kitchen has ever seen.

Being as the ingredient list for this Pop-Tart is pretty small, there’s not all too many things that can be done to lighten it up or make it more healthy. The few things I did do was to use a local from-scratch whole wheat dough. I also used an all natural strawberry preserve and swapped out the confectioners’ sugar with a sugar substitute.

Okay, so I guess that is a pretty good list of changes after all. Surprisingly, this Pop-Tart is pretty simple and easy to make too. Like I said, it’s a really good ‘lazy morning’ sort of breakfast or brunch.

While it still remains unclear what exactly is used as the sweet crunchy bits on top of most pop tarts, I decided to opt for crushed rainbow sprinkles this time around. It’s the same idea that I pulled from my Pop-Tart cobbler.
