Back to School breakfast and snack bites- gluten free, vegan cookies

 

Need something healthy your toddler will actually eat? 

Enjoy for on-the-go breakfast or an easy snack! These are perfect for school snack finger food or if your child doesn’t want to sit to eat and you are late to jet out of the door. My son’s school has different families provide snack each week. I made both of these recipes for the 2-3 year old class and the teacher said they gobbled them right down!

I also personally enjoy eating these when I don’t have the time or patience to fix breakfast or need a snack when driving the car doing errands.

Great for all ages. Healthy and Yummy couldn’t get any better than these.
