I am so grateful for this! I have been struggling to come up with new, and preferably healthy, healthy snacks for my kids. I feel like we fall in a rut of the same old snacks. Already this week we have made the overnight oats, homemade ranch, and applesauce oat muffins and my kids loved them all. I am excited to try them all! Thank you for compiling such a helpful resource.
I loved the Sweet Potato Muffins recipe. My kids too. I used to make air-fried sweet potato sticks, as they are so healthy (https://lazyplant.com/health/sweet-potatoes-air-fryer/) and also taste great. ..
I think choco waffle is also good snack for children. There are many kinds of waffle so they can choose any of them
Although that is good and yummy, it’s not as healthy as what we’re looking for.
