Lunchbox Snack Recipes for the Busy Mum

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 21, 2021January 20, 2021

Some great lunchbox snack recipes! Perfect for baking in advance. A freezer stockpile will help you so much, to stay on top of the high demand your kids put on you with school lunches. To help inspire you a bit, I’ve collated some of my family’s favourite recipes from my recipe collection that will make great school snacks for your children’s lunchboxes.

I like to do a big bake up of sweet and savoury lunch box snacks at the end of the school holidays so that I’m ready for the new school term.  I then put all my freshly baked goodies into the freezer so that I can add them to the kid’s lunchboxes. On the off chance that I don’t get around to doing my big bake up, I take some time out on Sunday’s to bake a fortnight’s supply of muffins, biscuits and savoury scrolls for the weeks ahead. I find it super convenient and handy having food ready made for lunch boxes.best lunchbox baking recipesSome of these recipes and loads more can be found in my Lunch Box Recipe Cookbook. There are 50 nut-free and freezable recipes inside that are perfect for school lunches.Lunchbox Recipe CookbookHealthy Lunchbox Snack Recipes for the Busy Mum

100+ Cookies from 1 mix

These 100+ cookies from 1 mix have to be one of my absolute favourite recipes for so many different reasons. To make the basic batter, it only requires 4 ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and is super budget friendly. I like to divide the batter into four and have four different flavourings.

  Find my 100+ Cookies from 1 mix recipe here.

Energy Muffins

Nothing beats a good muffin and my friend’s Energy Muffins go down well with everyone in the household. They will power up your kid’s brains for the school day and can be frozen as well. I must admit that I pinch some of these for my work lunch too, because they are delish!!!

  Find my Energy Muffins recipe here.

Easy and Yummy Energy Balls 

Another fabulous lunchbox snack that’s healthy for your kids, and will also give them an energy boost when they start to feel flat, are my Easy and Yummy Energy Balls. They taste like peanut butter and honey on toast, so the kids should be impressed.

Chocolate Banana Muffins

These are my clever Chocolate Banana Muffins that I make for the kids. They provide the best of both worlds, especially for the little fussy eaters because they can’t see the bananas in them. A great way to get fruit into them.

Pumpkin Scones

My Pumpkin Scones are delicious, quick and easy to make, and a real hit with my kids in their lunchbox. You can even add some ham and butter if you cut them in half, as a sandwich substitute or simply leave them as is.

My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching My day has consisted of a moment of binge watching Firefly Lane. Then running kids around. 

I’m putting a candle on to sit for a moment. Then it involves more mums taxi. I’ll cherish these moments though cause they will stop soon enough. Then what am I going to do when I’m not running kids around? Ooh the thought 🤪
White Chocolate and Cranberry Cookies 🍪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This recipe was contributed by Tracey (a lovely member of our community!). She suggests using an ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, which should give them a lovely rippled texture on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The base recipe without the white chocolate and cranberries can be used for any alternative ingredients like dark choc bits and macadamias. The full recipe is on my blog! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PS - I would suggest adjusting the sugar quantities to your own tastes if you prefer cookies to be less sweet! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
