Okay, I promise this is the last protein pop tart I’ll make with the Kodiak Cakes pancake mix. But you know I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use all three of the big flavors—buttermilk, dark chocolate, and crunchy peanut butter. If you haven’t seen my Everything Bagel Protein Pop Tarts, add them to the queue. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Pop Tarts will be the last of this Kodiak Cakes recipe series, though I plan to make more protein pop tarts with other ingredients since people seem to be enjoying them.

This recipe follows the same strategy as the Hot Fudge Sundae version and makes three pop tarts instead of two huge pop tarts like the Everything Bagel version. The macros are very similar between the two chocolate versions, but this one comes in a tiny bit higher calorie thanks to three servings of chocolate chips used for the filling and frosting. You know what that means, right? They’re extra chocolatey and delicious.

Seriously, the level of chocolate in this recipe puts the real thing to shame.

Kodiak Cakes Recipe: How to Make Protein Pop Tarts

The pop tart dough itself doesn’t get much easier. Thanks to the Kodiak Cakes, all you’ll need is a bit of fat free Greek yogurt to make the dough. That’s it.

You can see the dough come together in the images below, and I’ve also included the video from my Everything Bagel version before the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

The biggest tip I can give is to make sure you continue working the dough. It will seem as if it’s too dry and needs more Greek yogurt, but it’s not. Just keep working and stirring and it will come together.

Also, you can see in the fifth image where there are leftover trimmings. This is for filling in gaps around the edges or tops to make sure your protein pop tarts are entirely enclosed. That said, the more even you can get your dough when rolling the better. That will give you the most even finished product.

Chocolate Protein Pop Tart Filling and Frosting

For the protein pop tart filling and frosting, it’s almost as easy as the dough. You’ll need to melt down some chocolate chips and mix them with a bit of almond milk (or your choice of liquid), protein powder, and cocoa powder. I always use vanilla protein powder and add cocoa powder (flavor and multi-purpose use of vanilla protein vs chocolate preferences) but if you want to just use chocolate protein powder, that’s totally fine.

Final Notes and Other Kodiak Cakes Recipe Ideas

The video below from my Everything Bagel Protein Pop Tarts should give you a great idea of how to assemble and use leftover trimmings from the pop tart dough. Remember, the Everything Bagel version makes two huge pop tarts where this chocolate peanut butter version makes three.

All right, that’s all ya need to know. I hope you enjoy your protein pop tarts!
