Gf pop tart continued

Ok so the rest of the post. I made these gf pop tarts for the 12 year old. I try not to buy pop tarts in general but both hubby and older daughter love them. So when they are on clearance I will buy them.
Nutella has no corn syrup so a great chocolate spread.
Recipe
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp xantham gum
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar but could be a little less
1 stick melted unsealed butter
1tsp vanilla
1/2 c coconut milk. Room temp

Mix flour and sift together, then sugar and swift. Make a well and add wet ingredients.
Mix together, the squish together by hand.  Use parent paper and rolling pin to thinness of about a penny. Then slice 4 x3 inches. Spread tbs of Nutella on one side. Match up with another rectangle. Pinch sides down gently with fingers then with a fork for crimping. Bake at 350 for 7 min then rotate pan. Then about 8-9 min until slightly golden brown. Let cool for 10 min.

I think they taste way better than pop tarts. The dough is def sweeter than a pop tart.
12 year old loved these. We will be making again for early morning b- fast on the run.

Gluten free Nutella Pop tart

Well, I am rededicating myself to writing again. So much has happened in the past few years it may take a lifetime to catch up. So instead of back tracking I will just move forward.
 Today's post is about Gluten Free Pop Tarts.
My 12 yr old has terrible exczema on her hands. She was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies. The bloodwork came back positive for gluten and corn. She does not have celiac though. She started sublingual drops for food and grasses. I personally think the grasses are the culprit. She has been a real trooper and not done gluten or corn but still has problems with her hands.
  It is amazing to see how many products contain corn syrup. I have been trying to wean our whole family off of gluten. My 14 year old laments daily the agony of gluten free. Blah blah blah.
