I love having make-ahead recipes on hand that I can prep for the week and easily tuck into lunch boxes! These 7 easy back-to-school recipes are perfect for both kids and adults and offer a delicious break from the usual store-bought snacks. From soft muffins to bite-sized brownie treats, you'll find homemade lunchbox ideas and after-school snacks that everyone in the family will love!
Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
These muffins are always a hit in our family. The recipe makes many. So I set aside some for the week then I flash freeze the rest to having in the freezer ready to go. If you put them in a lunch bag frozen, they are so small that they defrost by lunch time
Mini Gingerbread Muffins
We love these muffins year round. They are perfect any time of day and any time of year. I love their balance of sweet and spice.
Pumpkin Granola
Oh, you can't go wrong with homemade granola! Your kids will ask for this one over and over. It's perfect for so many things!
Apple Berry Salsa
This recipe is good for a couple of days in the fridge. I like to make it on a Sunday evening then I have a fun treat for lunches for a few days. So so easy and full of fruity flavor.
Mini Brownie Bites
You cannot ever go wrong with mini brownies. I love that I can pack just one or two and my kids think they had a huge treat in their lunch box!
Oatmeal Toffee Cookies
These cookies stay tender and fresh for days! They will be in repeat in your kitchen all school year long!
Whether you're packing lunches for little ones, teens, or even yourself, I hope these back-to-school recipes make busy mornings just a little easier. A little planning ahead can go a long way, and having homemade snacks and treats ready to grab means one less thing to think about during the week. I hope your family enjoys these recipes as much as mine does. Wishing you a wonderful school year filled with happy memories, full lunch boxes, and lots of delicious homemade goodness!
