All these filling snacks for kids are packed with ingredients that will keep kids fuller for longer! Bridging that gap between meals with healthy homemade snacks.
I don’t know about you but my kids always come out of school absolutely ravenous!
And during the school holidays the snacks requests seem to hit an all time high.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with shop bought snacks, but they can be expensive, especially if you are feeding more than one child and I do find that homemade snacks are often way more filling.
Lots of these recipes can be batch made and frozen so they are perfect to have on hand for when you’re dealing with hungry kids!
Chocolate Brownie Oat Bars
These Brownie Oat Bars are technically a Breakfast Recipe. BUT they also make a fantastic filling snack for kids.
Serve them up with a portion of fruit and some yogurt to make them extra filling.
Nut Free Flapjacks
These nut free flapjacks are completely nut free and brilliant to batch make for packed lunches and school snacks.
With just five simple ingredients too, they are really easy to make.
They can also be frozen. They will defrost really quickly, in about an hour, so you can add them to lunchboxes directly from the freezer.
Raspberry & Coconut Mini Loaves
An excellent choice of snack if you want to make sure your kids stay fuller for longer and aren’t constantly looking for snacks in between meals.
These mini loaves are low in sugar and include all the big protein sources like, oats, egg, yogurt and milk.
Porridge Bread
Whilst I originally made this porridge bread as a breakfast recipe, I frequently serve this up as a snack!
Even if your kids don’t like porridge, this recipe has all the nutritional benefits of porridge but in a more familiar format of bread!
Chocolate Quinoa Bites
So easy to make and a good source of protein and fibre, these quinoa bites are a really easy snack to make at home and contain only two simple ingredients.
These Quinoa Bites will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Brilliant to pull out for a quick kids after school snack.
Healthy Strawberry & Chocolate Chip Blender Muffins
Both the oats and the yogurt in these Strawberry & Chocolate Chip muffins will help keep kids fuller for longer in between meals.
If your child isn’t a fan of strawberries, then try these Healthy Oat & Blueberry Blender Muffins instead.
Chocolate Orange Energy Bites
They keep really well too. So make up a big batch and you’ve got easy snacks on hand whenever you need them.
These energy bites are packed full of slow releasing carbs and protein so they are guaranteed to keep little tummies full until their next meal!
Strawberry Oat Bars
These Strawberry Oat Bars are gluten, dairy and egg free so even if you have kids with food allergies or intolerances, they can still be on your list of filling snacks!
And because they are soft in texture unlike a granola bar they are suitable for toddlers too!
Chunky Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies
Theses cookies are big and filling but are still relatively low in sugar. Served with some chopped veg and fruit they make a great afternoon snack for hungry kids or are ideal to add to lunch boxes too.
Raspberry & Coconut Energy Bites
Energy bites are a great snack to prep ahead and have on hand when you need something quick, easy and filling for the kids at home or to take out and about in a snack box.
Over the years I’ve made a couple of variations of these including Chocolate Chip Energy Bites and Chocolate Orange Energy Bites but I especially love how colourful these raspberry ones are!
