These homemade blueberry pop tarts are made with a flaky, buttery crust and filled with a thick, jammy blueberry filling. Topped with a simple glaze and sprinkles, they’re a fun and nostalgic treat that’s perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • 3/4 cup blueberry jam or preserves
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the ice water gradually, mixing just until the dough comes together. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine blueberry jam, cornstarch, and cold water. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Let cool.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into rectangles (about 3×4 inches).
  6. Place half the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Add a spoonful of blueberry filling in the center of each.
  7. Beat the egg and brush edges of the rectangles with the egg wash. Place a second rectangle on top and press edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
  8. Prick the tops with a fork to allow steam to escape. Brush tops with egg wash.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make the glaze. Spread over cooled pop tarts and add sprinkles if desired.

Notes

  • Pop tarts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
  • You can use any flavor of jam or preserves in place of blueberry.
  • For a crispier finish, bake an extra 2-3 minutes.
  • Dough can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
