Homemade Strawberry Toaster Tarts

I am always looking for healthier, on-the-go, quick and easy breakfasts for the kids in the morning.  Cereal causes them to linger at the table and they literally forget they even eat it, demanding breakfast within the hour.  Pop-tarts are unfortunately one of the things we have fallen back on in the past.  So when I found a recipe for homemade toaster tarts with make-yourself stawberry filling, I couldn't wait to try it!

Following the recipe carefully, the kids and I waited anxiously to see how they turned out.  I didn't even get the chance to put a glaze and sprinkles on before we were digging in, but they didn't even need it they were so good!  However, they didn't make it to my regular menu because for all my work, it only made 6 pastries - one for each of us at normal size.  (I suppose you could halve them and get double, which may make it worth it if you have fewer than 4 kids eating them :)  Nevertheless, they are a wonderful treat anytime and a great way to use this summer staple!

This has been circulating around the web a bit and it always looked enticing.  The perfect oppourtunity came when we had some of Dood's friends over after school.  These were quick to make and super delicious.  AND the recipe made enough to fill 6 hungry kids :)  I cooked them a little longer to make them more solid and used chocolate chips rather than raisins.  You could skip the almond milk and I think they would take a little less time to cook.  Perfect for snacks, desserts, or even breakfasts ;)  Definitely a favorite around here!
