Mid-morning snack: what to cook?

[Delphinus]

Hi all,

I've an upcoming project that I need to supply a mid-morning snack to, say 10:30. I need to cook something, and looked up coffeecakes and strudels, but nothing is catching my eye. It won't be able to be reheated, so that needs to be taken into account. Any ideas? Thanks!

1. What age group is this for?

and what are the circumstances? standing or seated while eating? fork or hand?


Standing - one hand snack - no fork - with a beverage... how about a healthy cookie like oatmeal raisin?

2. Excellent questions!

Either way, muffins work:

This recipe says cookies but they are really bars baked in a 9x13:

Or if seated and able to use a fork and plate these are delicious:

3. Oh, heavens!

Those are great options!

5. They are all ones I've made

and they are all good. Maybe you could even just make your favorite carrot cake recipe and bake it as muffins without the icing (less messy that way.)

Hope you can find something you like. :hi:

6. Really?

Carrot cake muffins? I'd never thought of that! I love carrot cake!

[hippywife]

7. Sure.

Just take a recipe that you like put it in muffin tins about 2/3 full and reduce the cooking time. I would probably use the cooking time and oven temp for that Autumn Muffin recipe as a guideline.

4. Good questions.

Adults; standing; quick snack.

Oatmeal raisin cookie - I was thinking cookies might be too sweet that early in the morning, but probably not. Thanks!
