I know – quite a history to that little recipe! And Nutella? How are we even friends???

This is the same recipe I used! I love that it’s a recipe from Smitten Kitchen that she adapted from King Arthur Flour that they adapted from Joanne Chang who recreated it from her memories of Pop-Tarts (recipe is in her book “Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery + Cafe” [side-note: her recipe for Banana Chocolate-Chip Bread is easily the best reason to buy bananas]). I remember thinking the process was a bit onerous to try again, but then again I may have been distracted by my adorable 4-month-old. If I were to make them again, and your beautiful example is encouraging, I would try what you suggested with the whole wheat flour and I’d add more brown sugar. Melanie made me fill some of the tarts with Nutella instead and she remembers those as being the best. She’s a little koo-koo, though.

Oh my. I’ve been meaning to do this forever. I love the upscale version of Pop Tarts (don’t like the standard sort bc there is hardly anything in ‘em) but we’re on a mega budget right now so I think this is on the menu.

Thanks Meredith and Jennifer – it’s a rough life over here!
And Jamie, if I do a Little Debbie DIY it will be the Oatmeal “Creme” Pie for sure…
