Below I’ll share some of my favorite homemade toddler snacks that are easy and healthy to make for your toddlers. Snacks that your toddlers will love and will make you feel good because you know what’s in them. Cheers for a win win!
Toddler Snack Ideas
Muffins
Mini Apple Sauce Muffins :
These are my absolute favorite. We make them all the time and my boys love them. They are easy to make and have minimal sugar in them which I love! The recipe is from Yummy Toddler Food , just tap the link and grab the recipe there!
Blueberry Banana Muffins :
Another one of our favorites and a huge hit in the household, even my husband loves them! They are sugar free but definitely don’t taste like it! I love to use them for breakfast options as well as for snacks. The recipe can be found at Twin Mom Refreshed .
Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins :
This is a great fall recipe (but if I’m being honest, I make it whenever). This one if my personal favorite. You don’t have to add sugar. It has maple syrup but at least it’s sweetened by a natural source and of course chocolate chips (gotta live a little ;P). The recipe can be found at Baby Foode .
Oat Balls
Peanut Butter Balls:
My boys absolutely love these. They are another go to homemade snack that I love to make. It’s so easy and takes no time. The only difference is I use maple syrup instead of honey so whatever works for you! The recipe can be found at Twin Mom Refreshed .
Brownie Protein Balls:
These are so good and perfect if you have a sweet tooth like I do! I got the recipe and inspo from @jennaliveswell. I just added flax seed instead of a protein powder!

Smoothies/Popsicles:
I make all kinds of popsicles for my boys because it’s an easy way to get them to eat their fruit and veggies. I’ll usually make a big batch smoothie and then freeze what is left for popsicles. I put yogurt, milk, some kind of fruit blend, spinach, and some times I add ground flax seed but not all the time.
Another smoothie/popsicle version I make is like a fudge pop and it’s so good. It’s one banana, a tablespoon and a half of cocoa powder, oat milk (you can add peanut butter too) then blend it and freeze it. My boys are huge fans!
Berrylicious Cookie Bars:
These are another favorite and so simple to make! Has berries, nuts, and it taste great–win win in my book. The recipe is from Amanda’s Cookin.
Peanut Butter Cereal Bites:
Another easy and super good recipe with a fun spin on cheerios. My husband and I love to snack on these as well. You only need four ingredients and it’s probably all ingredients you have on hand. You need peanut butter, vanilla, cheerios, and honey. I got this recipe from One Little Project but you can find the recipe below.
Frozen Yogurt Blueberries:
A fun spin on blueberries. We already eat frozen blueberries on a regular but I love the idea of adding yogurt to it! It’s a quick, healthy and delicious snacks for toddlers. The recipe is from Family Fresh Meals.
Frozen Chocolate Banana Bites:
Any fruit with chocolate added to it is a must right! Plus, I love the idea of putting the slices on the popsicle sticks which makes it fun for the kiddos. The recipe is from My Fussy Eater.
That’s all I have for now but be sure to check back as I will add to this list the more snacks I find and try. If you have any other toddler snacks to share that are a hit for your children, then I’d love if you’d share it with all of us below in the comments. <3
