Homemade blueberry pop tarts, the best recipe - HORNO MX (2024)

These homemade blueberry pop tarts are a charm. They are so good and so pretty. They are a sort of dough envelope filled with homemade blueberry jam.

Jump to Recipe

Now, these “envelopes” are called pop tarts and can be filled with many jam flavors, it can be strawberry jam, peach jam, or even chocolate, or pretty much anything else sweet. On top we put some simple glaze that then hardens a little.

Pop tarts are made in a lot of different flaavors and are really famous and sold all over in the United States. This is the homemade version, with that homemade charm that things made from scratch have.

We could also call these “blueberry tarts” but the truth is they are actually pop tarts.

The dough we use to make this pop tarts is amazing. It is crispy and soft at the same time, that doesn’t turn soggy the next days. It goes great with the sweet and acid blueberry filling. Plus, these pop tarts are just so good. I really like that the blueberry filling comes out a little when baking them, because it makes them look even better.

Pop tarts usually have a lot of frosting or royal icing on top, with some sprinkles. But we prefer to only use a simple glaze made with powdered or confectioners sugar with water or milk. This way we add some more extra sweetness.
