Mini Gluten-Free Turnovers: How this Recipe is Better
So to be clear, fruit turnovers are a treat, not health food. But to be even more clear, we are huge fans of delicious treats!
What we love about this recipe is that it is super quick because doesn’t actually require cooking fresh fruit. And, the miniature size is really helpful in portion control for adults and kids alike.
These would fit great into a lunch box wrapped with parchment paper and tied with a string. They are also a stunning dessert to bring to a party.
Special Diet Features
These delicious gluten-free turnovers are also allergy-friendly: no wheat/Gluten, dairy, egg, soy, tree nut, peanut, fish, shellfish, sesame, or sulfites.
And, of course, they are also vegan!
Mini Gluten-Free Turnovers: The Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup cassava flour
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter or substitute
- 7 Just Fruit Bars
- 1 tsp water flax egg mixed with 1/2 tsp flaxseed
Method
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Mix flaxseed meal and water and let sit for a few minutes.
- Combine cassava flour, coconut sugar, and sea salt in a bowl.
- Add water, vanilla, and flax/water mixture, and combine.
- Melt butter, add to the bowl, and combine to form a nice even dough.
- Flatten dough until it’s about 1/8in thick and cut into 14 2x2in squares. Place the squares on parchment paper to make it easier to fold the corners over.
- Cut Just Fruit Bars in half (you can also use our Fruit+Chia Bars)
- Place bar on a square of dough diagonally, and fold 2 corners of the dough inward, one corner on top of the other to form a turnover. If the dough is sticky, use the parchment paper to help fold it over.
- Repeat process for each turnover.
- Place turnovers on a baking sheet lined with a new sheet of parchment paper.
- Bake for 12 minutes until slightly browned.
- Enjoy!
