PUMPKIN PIE POT TARTS is a fun way to make pumpkin a part of breakfast! These delicious, buttery flaky pop-tarts have a delish pumpkin pie filling.
Do you ever goals for yourself and games to reach them?
For example, I’m talking about telling yourself you really do like to mop, or put groceries away or whatever it is that you really don’t like to do? I do all the time. I hate to unload the dishwasher so I set the stove timer so I’ll focus on it and try to beat the clock. It’s a mind game, I focus on the times so I don’t focus on the actual task. I, also, do in running. In running it’s called a mantra, basically. You repeat a phrase over and over to get your mind off the torture of step, step, step, to keep you focused.
It’s the power of positive thinking and it works.
THOUGHTS THEN PUMPKIN PIE POT TARTS
So. There was this blogging task that I did not like to do. I’d rush through pinning some great posts to Pinterest as fast as I could, just to be able to check that off my to-do list. Then one day, I decided instead of tackling it all at one time, I’d just do a few a day every time I got on the computer. It wasn’t painful and it didn’t take long.
Do you know what happened? I started actually looking at the post, commenting, and enjoying reading. A lot of the posts were information that I’d want to keep anyway if I were scrolling through Pinterest (which I never have time to do anymore!). And, do you know what else? I started gaining a lot more Pinterest followers! Why? Because I wasn’t blasting Pinterest all at one time with 75 pins. I shared them throughout the day on various boards of interest and more people saw them! I love that.

Found this from Sat Show Stopper…I seriously need these pop tarts for breakfast this morning! They look so so good. 🙂 Pop tarts were my favorite breakfast treat when I was a kid so this will be fun to make and reminisce.
Paula says
Mine too, Tina. I think the fact that we didn’t have pop tarts very often when I was a child made me like them even more. These were fun to make (and eat!).
Melissa @ Simply Sweets by Honeybee says
These look delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Pamela says
These would be really great if they had more sugar .They are not sweet at all . I will have to add a sugar glaze just to make them better after making them already.
Paula says
Add a little more sugar in with the filling too, my family didn’t like them very sweet. I on the other hand could frost them in cream cheese icing an inch thick! 🙂
Carrie @ Frugal Foodie Mama says
