Description
Recently, a tortilla toaster hack video popped up in one of my social media feeds, and I was intrigued. There aren't many packaged keto items I buy, but I do often get tortillas/wraps. The video I saw was making a savory toaster tortilla, but the easiest vegan keto ones that came to mind were peanut butter and "jam" and peanut butter and chocolate chips. I have ideas for savory ones, but they require a little more prep than these sweet ones, which are meant to be a bit like a toaster pastry or a Pop Tart - hence the name. The peanut butter in these makes them a wee bit high in net carbs, but this could be replaced with SunButter to reduce the carbs slightly. For a bit more protein, you could increase the hemp hearts. The macros will also vary with the tortilla you use. I have calculated the macros with Mission Protein tortillas/wraps, which are common in the US. These tortilla toaster tarts make for a quick breakfast or a higher-calorie snack. Give them a try and let me know what you think. Or, come up with your own vegan keto tortilla toaster creations and let us know what you've made. Enjoy!
Equipment & Storage:
| You will need — a toaster
| Store — best eaten soon after toasting
Ingredients
Peanut Butter & Jam:
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip:
Instructions
-
Lay your tortilla out on the clean countertop.Make sure to use a tortilla/wrap that folds without breaking, otherwise, you will end up with the filling leaking into your toaster. If your tortilla is a bit stiff, but bendy when warm, you could microwave it for a few second before filling it. Also, be careful with, or avoid using, overly floppy tortillas as these will more easily fall through the toaster "cage" and touch the heating elements and burn. They are also harder to remove from the toaster.
-
Spread your peanut butter in the middle third of the tortilla, leaving a small area empty in the center.
-
Top the peanut butter with the remaining ingredients, in the order given in the ingredient list. If using raspberries, break them into halves or pieces to lay flat.
-
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filled middle portion, with the sides overlapping. Then, fold this in half at the center.
-
Place in the toaster with the open end facing up.
-
Toast for as long as able in order to fully heat through. How long you can toast without burning will depend on your tortillas. Monitor carefully and watch out for tortilla edges bending through the "cage" and towards the heating elements where they will burn. Rearrange with a heat-safe plastic utensil if necessary.
-
Remove from the toaster. Because of bending, you may need the help of a heat-safe non-metal utensil for this.
-
Enjoy soon after toasting.

- I'm calculating the macros with Mission Protein tortillas/wraps, which have 7g protein and 2g net carbs. Make sure to use a tortilla/wrap that folds without breaking; otherwise, you will end up with the filling leaking into your toaster. If your tortilla is a bit stiff but bendy when warm, you could microwave it for a few seconds before filling it. Also, be careful with or avoid overly floppy tortillas, as they are more likely to fall through the toaster "cage" and touch the heating elements, burning. They are also harder to remove.
- The macros are calculated with 30g of raspberries, which contain about 2g net carbs. If using a store-bought low-carb jam, look for one with 1g net carbs per tablespoon. The jam in my second book has 1g net carbs per tablespoon.
