Tortilla Toaster Tarts (Vegan + Keto)

Tortilla Toaster Tarts - PB & J and PB & Chocolate

Recently, a tortilla toaster hack video popped up in one of my social media feeds and I was intriqued. There aren't many packaged keto items I buy, but I do often get tortillas/wraps. The video I saw was making a savory toaster tortilla, but the easiest vegan keto ones that came to mind were peanut butter and "jam" and peanut butter and chocolate chips. I have ideas for savory ones, but they require a little more prep than these sweet ones, which are meant to be a bit like a toaster pastry or a Pop Tart - hence the name. The peanut butter in these make them a wee bit high in net carbs, but this could be replaced with SunButter to reduce the carbs slightly. For a bit more protein, you could increase the hemp hearts. The macros will also vary with the tortilla you use. I have calculated the macros with Mission Protein tortillas/wraps, which are common in the US. These tortilla toaster tarts make for a quick breakfast or a higher-calorie snack. Give them a try and let me know what you think. Or, come up with you own vegan keto tortilla toaster creations and let us know what you've made. Enjoy!

This vegan keto bean and salsa soup is spicy and satisfying.

PB & J Ingredients:

1 high-protein low-carb tortilla ✎
2 Tbsp (32g) unsweetened peanut butter, almond butter, or sunbutter
2 tsp (7g) hemp hearts
a few (30g) raspberries (about ¼ cup), 2-3 strawberries, sliced, or 2 Tbsp (30g) low-carb jam, such as the one in my second book, and omit the sweetener ✎
2 tsp allulose or equivalent in sweetener of choice (optional)

PB & Chocolate Ingredients:

1 high-protein low-carb tortilla ✎
2 Tbsp (32g) unsweetened peanut butter, almond butter, or sunbutter
2 tsp (7g) hemp hearts
1½ Tbsp (17g) vegan keto chocolate chips

Directions:

Lay your tortilla out on the clean countertop.
Spread your peanut butter in the middle third of the tortilla, leaving a small area empty in the center. See pictures below for guidance.
Top the peanut butter with the remaining ingredients, in the order given in the ingredient list. If using raspberries, break them into halves or pieces to lay flat.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filled middle portion, with the sides overlapping. Then, fold this in half at the center. See pictures below for guidance.
Place in the toaster with the open end facing up. See pictures below for guidance.
Toast for as long as able in order to fully heat through, and to melt the chocolate chips (if applicable). How long you can toast without burning will depend on your tortillas. Monitor carefully and watch out for tortilla edges bending through the "cage" and towards the heating elements where they will burn. Rearrange with a heat-safe plastic utensil if necessary.
Remove from the toaster. Because of bending, you may need the help of a heat-safe plastic utensil for this.
Enjoy soon after toasting.

✎ Notes:

I'm calculating the macros with Mission Protein tortillas/wraps, which have 7g protein and 2g net carbs. Make sure to use a tortilla/wrap that folds without breaking, otherwise, you will end up with the filling leaking into your toaster. If your tortilla is a bit stiff, but bendy when warm, you could microwave it for a few second before filling it. Also, be careful with, or avoid using, overly floppy tortillas as these will more easily fall through the toaster "cage" and touch the heating elements and burn. They are also harder to remove.
30g of raspberries contains about 2g net carbs, so if using a storebought low-carb jam, look for one with 1g net carbs per tablespoon.
Macros for this recipes are calculated with American national nutritional data (i.e. NCCDB & USDA entries in Cronometer) for all ingredients apart from the tortilla (Mission Protein), hemp hearts (Manitoba Harvest), and chocolate chips (ChocZero dark).
Macro numbers are rounded. Numbers equal to or greater than 10g are rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 10g, 11g, 12g, etc.) and numbers below 10g are rounded to the nearest 0.5g (0.5g, 1g, 1.5g ... 9g, 9.5g). Any numbers below 0.5g are given as is (e.g. 0.1g, 0.2g, etc.). Calories are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.
