Patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts

This patriotic Mini Fruit Tarts recipe has been one of my favorite treats for the 4th of July for years! With a five-star rating, readers love it too, and after one bite, you’ll understand why. Naturally sweetened and made with an almond and oat flour base, the tart shell is slightly nutty, just a little crumbly, and perfectly sweet. Then, I add yogurt, coconut flakes, and fresh berries to create a pretty American flag design that’s almost too cute to eat. Easy to prepare, these red, white, and blue fruit tarts are perfect for holiday parties but are so tasty you’ll make them all summer long!

Equipment

1 Muffin Tin
1 Microwave-Safe Bowl
1 Cookie Scoop
1 Wire Rack

Ingredients

Tartlets

2 Tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1 Tablespoon tapioca flour
1 Tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon very cold water

Toppings

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Shredded coconut to taste
Wild blueberries to taste
Fresh strawberries sliced, to taste
1-2 teaspoons honey for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and prepare a muffin tin with liners.
Melt the coconut oil and set it aside to cool.
Mix the flours, chia seeds, salt, maple syrup, vanilla, and cold water.
Slowly mix in the coconut oil, then use your hands to form the dough.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, roll into 10-11 balls, and place each one into a muffin tin cavity.
Press the dough into the muffin tin into a very thin layer, allowing the dough to come up the sides a bit evenly.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
Let cool, then carefully remove from the liners and place on a cooling rack.
When totally cooled down, fill each tart shell with yogurt and top with shredded coconut.
Add blueberries on one corner, then the sliced strawberries to create an American flag (or….just top them however you want).
Drizzle with honey and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to add any toppings you want! These would be so good with chocolate chips, peanuts, caramel, and really any type of fruit.
The shells will get soggy if they sit too long with the yogurt filling, so I recommend waiting to fill them until right before you serve them. Or you can even freeze them and just thaw them right before serving!
