Spot-on Red Velvet Protein Pop Tarts with a Greek yogurt-protein powder filling and frosting, just like the cupcake! Homemade red velvet pop tart is healthy, high protein, sugar free and easily Vegan too!

This protein pop tart series really has me going so here’s another one checked off the list: Red Velvet Cupcake.

Now that I think about it, I think I’d rather eat this toaster pastry version of a red velvet cupcake instead of the actual thing. It’s a lot healthier, has no sugar, made with oat flour, and actually has nutritional value!

P. S. I always make my protein pop tarts in the air fryer, but there’s an option to bake this as well; I’ve got a note below.

Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the high protein part of these homemade pop tarts.

Tips for Homemade Red Velvet Pop Tart with Protein Powder

This homemade red velvet pop tart is made in the air fryer and really is an easy toaster pastry recipe, but here’s some tips to make sure you get it right!

Process the dry ingredients first (oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder and peanut butter powder)

Use cold yogurt so that the dough does not get too sticky and hard to roll.

Don’t over-process the dough or it will get too warm and soft.

Don’t let dough sit out for too long; Work quickly with rolling, adding the filling, rolling and cooking. Again, you don’t want the dough to get warm.

If needed, flour the work surface and rolling pin to prevent dough from sticking

To make Baked Protein Pop Tart instead of using Air Fryer

Instead of an air fryer pop tart, make a baked chocolate toaster pastry; Place the pop tart pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 9 minutes.
