Missouri’s Best Breakfast Food is Totally Taylor Swift’s Fault

I will admit that it took me awhile to understand this connection, but Missouri's best breakfast food really did originate with something Taylor Swift did. Yes, I have some explaining to do.

Something subtle happened near the end of the Kansas City Chiefs season a couple years ago that you and I knew little about, but it has now become a breakfast trend that has overtaken any other morning foods in Missouri - allegedly. I discovered this fact from a new ranking by Reader's Digest who broke down all of the best breakfast foods for each state and Missouri's is the only one with a Taylor Swift connection. Here's what Reader's Digest said:

"Ever since it was reported that Taylor Swift had baked homemade Pop-Tarts for Travis Kelce (and other Kansas City Chiefs linemen) to celebrate a win in the 2023–2024 season, similar toaster treats have popped up at pastry shops all over the Show-Me State."

I have confirmed this Taylor Swift homemade Pop Tart is not just a reality, but has been reported on nationally.

What is the recipe for Taylor Swift homemade Pop Tarts?

Taste of Home has all of the ingredients which include the following: pastry dough, egg wash, filling and icing. While I won't dive into all of the specific steps they share, I will say that the process of "forming" the pop tart seems difficult. They take around 15 to 18 minutes to bake and Kansas City Chiefs linemen swear by them. Travis Kelce approves, too, so there's that.
