Healthy Sourdough Poptarts {Peanut Butter + Strawberry Jam}

Hey Babes!

Let’s give poptarts an upgrade with sourdough.

I’m so excited for you to try these healthy sourdough poptarts {peanut butter + strawberry jam}. They’re UNREAL and absolutely delicious. The crust is soft and flakey and the inside is gooey with swirls of warm peanut butter and strawberry jam in every bite. I would say they’re a mix between a pb&j uncrustable and a poptart.

Honestly, I think it’s the best of both worlds AND they’re also healthy for you too!!

Healthy Sourdough Poptarts

You know I had to put my healthy spin on these sourdough poptarts too. Here are the deets:

• Organic peanut butter.
• A good quality strawberry jam, although next time I’m going to use my homemade strawberry chia jam. 
• The dough is sourdough based so it’s gut healthy and nutritious
• Topped with cinnamon instead of icing

YUM.

What are the health benefits of “sourdough-ing” poptarts?

Sourdough bread and snacks (like these poptarts!) are unlike all other types of bread because they go through a long and slow natural fermentation with wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. This ancient, 6,000-year-old tradition has remarkable health benefits.  

1. Supports Gut Health
2. Activates B Vitamins and minerals, like iron, zinc, and magnesium
3. Degrades gluten
4. Synthesizes prebiotic fiber
5. Boosts Antioxidants
6. Easy to Digest
7. Low Glycemic

Ingredients for Healthy Sourdough Poptarts {Peanut Butter + Strawberry Jam}

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Healthy Sourdough Poptarts at home.

SOURDOUGH POPTART DOUGH

• All-Purpose Flour: I used a local stone ground All Purpose Flour (because it’s the most nutritious!) However, King Arthur has a great organic all-purpose flour that I would recommend too.
• Water: Preferably warm water is best! Warmer water helps kickstart fermentation.
• Sourdough Starter: Be sure you are using active sourdough starter (not discard).
• Salted Butter: I use salted pastured butter from Organic Valley but any butter will do!
• Maple Syrup: Instead of cane sugar, we are going to use a touch of maple syrup to sweeten the dough.
• Sea Salt: Enhances flavor (and nutrition) by slowing fermentation.

PB&J FILLING

• Peanut Butter: I love Trader Joe’s organic creamy peanut butter.
• Strawberry Jam: I usually go for a high-quality organic jam but I also love to make homemade strawberry chia jam too if I have time!
• Cinnamon: Cinnamon adds a hint of flavor to our poptart and is my favorite add-in to PB&Js.

Equipment Needed for Healthy Sourdough Poptarts

• Mixing Bowl or Dough Mixer: You can prepare the Poptart dough with either a mixer or by hand. I mixed by hand!
• Baking Pan
• Baking Scale: ideal for accurately measuring ingredients
