I've recently been searching around for kid friendly snacks, and I thought a great snack to send to school would be yogurt parfaits.
The first item I needed to find was granola. However, I didn't come across any nut free options.
So, of course, when in doubt-search Pinterest.
Because I'll be mixing it with plain yogurt and fruit, I'm opting to keep it plain.
Due to school dietary restrictions, I will need to make this without the flax seed or sunflower seeds. So, simply just sweetened and toasted oats. But I'm sure it will be delicious!
Next, I just need to find some decent disposable containers to package this so the kiddos can take this to school easily.
- 9 C rolled oats (or combination of oats, rye, barley, etc.)
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 C pure maple syrup
- 1/2 C honey
- 1/2 C unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare baking sheets with parchment.
- In large mixing bowl, combine oats, cinnamon and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- In medium saucepan, whisk maple syrup, honey, applesauce and vanilla over low heat until combined. (about 5 minutes)
- Pour hot syrup over oat mixture. Stir to combine.
- Pour mixture in a single layer onto prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 50 minutes, stirring granola every 10 minutes. (For ease I set my timer five times for 10 minute increments)
- Let cool and store in airtight container.
Simple enough right?
I can't wait to try it!
Now, I'll report back to you on last week's Monday Munchies.
I really loved the boiled chicken. It had great taste from the bouillon cube, and it was super moist-which was good for Hannah. In terms of the salsa, two limes was too much, even with a doubled amount of other ingredients. I would also take out the tomato next time. But, it was definitely a crowd pleaser in this house.
