I remember the days when it seemed like healthy recipes for snacks were the holy grail of motherhood in the kitchen.
Healthy Recipes for Snacks
That was when I was feeding hoards of hungry snackers, creating everything from low carb cookies, to tasty gluten free pizza muffins, to a healthy apple sauce recipe and much more.
Easy Recipes for Snacks
Walking down memory lane, I recall all of the easy recipes for snacks I made for the boys when they were little.
The recipes were so simple, and they loved helping me out in the kitchen.
Children and Diet Restrictions
But wait, why all the fuss about healthy recipes?
It all began with my older son. You see, diet restrictions for children can be challenging, and my kiddo was diagnosed with celiac disease when he was only 3 years old.

In turn, I made it my mission to create the best healthy treats so that he would feel like a “normal” kid. Now he’s 24 years old and crushes it in the kitchen.
Snacks That Are Easy to Make
All of these treats are easy to make and both gluten free and grain free. For those of you dealing with additional allergies, many are nut free and egg free as well.
I hope you find your new favorite snack here!

Easy Home Recipes for Snacks
Whether you’re looking for healthy late night snacks, snacks for a road trip, or something to nourish the kiddos after school, preparing treats at home ensures you are providing nutrient dense options!
Here’s a little BTS for this blog post. I created this collection of kid food because Elizabeth Berkley of Saved by the Bell fame, contacted me asking for snack ideas for her little one!
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared these Healthy Recipes in 2014.

The homemade apple sauce is to die for!

This is really useful – a good post to come back to. I especially like the Cherry Vanilla Power Bars and will be giving this a try when I get back home tonight! The Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are also going on my ‘to do’ list – yummy and yet still healthy at the same time!

Hi, I have read your books and have ordered them. I thought I would never eat cupcakes again. I can have my cake and eat it too. I have never tried agave before and what is the problem with it? People seem to be against it.
Edward says
The cherry vanilla power bars sound delicious!
Theresa says
Wow, that is not a picky eater- LOL my son have very limited things that he will eat. Like eggs he will only eat plain and scrambled. He only eats ground beef or he will eat peanut butter. He will eat most fruits and vegetables but only in small amounts. He is 16 now. He was not this picky when he was younger but has become more picky as he has gotten older less I can do. I always offer. I don’t force the issue. But I am also not a short order cook.
Heather says
Thank you for putting this together! Sometimes scrolling through so many awesome recipes can be overwhelming!
Sarah says
Thank you! We have been in a snack rut and looking for a tasty way to use our seeds. I will definitely be making the power bars and scones. The veggies and dip should also be a hit.
Coleta says
These are some great snack ideas even for adults. Going to try the scones and the muffin recipe for myself.
Tess @ Tips on Healthy Living says
Deviled eggs are my favorite! But it seems like kids would be more likely to go for the graham crackers or lemon poppyseed muffins. Anyway, thanks for sharing! I will have to pass this along for my niece.
