One of my favorite breakfast bites growing up had to have been a toaster strudel. I guess there was just something about the flaky crust and the jam filling that would never get all the way hot in the very center. Being as I happened to have both some leftover jam and some puff pastry on hand, I thought I’d try making some homemade toaster strudels (and maybe even get the middle warm!)

These homemade Toaster Strudels are SUPER easy to make and are WAY more impressive than the delicious kid-friendly crap in a box. They are thick, fluffy, and full of whatever jam happens to be your favorite. Plus, they truly only take 30 minutes from start to finish. Well worth the time!

I lightened these Toaster Strudels up mostly by swapping the sugar for a sugar substitute in the frosting. A sugar-free or ‘no sugar added’ jam would be a great option too. Other than that, there really isn’t a whole lot to change about these simple to make breakfast pastries.

These Toaster Strudels are great for breakfast when served with a side of fresh fruit.
