4 Quick and Healthy Snacks to Make at Home
Today, I will focus on healthy and easy snacks to make at home. I will make some snacks and also freeze some of them. I’m going to get started on restocking some of the snacks I make at home.
Recipe 1: Funfetti mini muffins
Directions:
I use a basic muffin recipe that I found and I sometimes add in chocolate chips or fruit or whatever I have on hand. You can use your favorite basic muffin recipe.
The muffins are done–I guess I overfilled my muffin tray but they are still delicious and fluffy. I will let them cool and put them in an airtight container. If you do a huge bulk batch, you can freeze them, too.
Recipe 2: Homemade chocolate pudding
This is the easiest and most delicious snack to make. This takes just five minutes to make.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Divide the mixture into bowls (I like to use little Mason jars with lids), let it cool, and then put them in the fridge. I put little circles of wax paper on top to keep the top from hardening.
Recipe 3: No-bake homemade granola bars
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick oats
- ½ cup or more of crispy rice cereal
- ¼ cup mini-chocolate chips
Directions:
Put parchment paper in a baking dish. Add the mixture to a baking dish. Flatten it out. Sprinkle some more chocolate chips on top. Slice after everything cools.
Recipe 4: Bagel bites
Cut them in half when they are cool. Add pizza sauce and cheese. I’m making mine simple.
I put plastic wrap over one pan for the deep freezer. The rest I put on a cookie sheet to pop in the oven when I need an after-school snack.
