Mixed berries can add variety and canned blueberries are often more affordable.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: erythritol

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Erythritol is a low-calorie sweetener, while granulated sugar is typically less expensive.

cornstarch

🥗Healthier: arrowroot powder

💰Cheaper: flour

Arrowroot powder is a healthier thickener, while flour can be used as a cheaper alternative.

In a saucepan, combine frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries are soft and broken down, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry with a non-stick rolling pin to smooth out the seams and make them slightly thinner.

Cut each sheet into eight equal rectangles.

Place half of the rectangles on a prepared baking sheet.

Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of blueberry filling onto the center of each rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.

Brush the edges with a bit of egg wash to help seal them.

Place the remaining rectangles on top of the filled ones and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Prick the tops with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to prepare the glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Pop-Tarts and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
