- Make the filling that you desire. For the choclate filling, melt the chocolate chips and combine all ingredients into a small bowl. Mix. For the berry filling, place the ingredients into a saucepan on medium heat. Cook until the berries start to release the juices. Remove from stove top after the consistency is thick and let it cool.
- Scoop a small dollap of the filling on top of 4 of the pastry rectangles.
- Sandwich the pastyr wiht the dollop of filling by taking a the other pastry and pressing it on top of the bottom pastry.
- Use a fork and press into the dough to ensure the filling will not fall out.
- Spray the protein pop tarts with avocado oil. This will make the pastries golden brown. Take a fork and poke holes into the top of each pastry.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes. Keep an eye on the pop-tarts! You don't want to burn them.
