When you’re getting your back-to-school recipe plan in place, kid-friendly lunches are likely at the top of your list. And, even if nuts aren't off-limits for your own family, you never know when your kid might be sharing a cookie or other snack with a classmate who has a nut allergy. That’s why we’ve created these nut-free snacks. They’re delicious and kid-approved—and require just 20 minutes or less of prep work. Regardless of food allergies, you and your family will love these homemade treats.

These are what every snack bar should be: tender, sweet and chock-full of flavor. The dried fruit keeps the bars moist for five days, so bake a batch Sunday afternoon for a full school week of snacking.

These cuties look like mini burgers, so they have extra kid appeal. They come out of the oven crisp-tender, and then the jam filling softens them overnight, making them more like jam-filled cakes by the next day.

Believe it or not, these muffins get better after a stay in the freezer. So make a batch on Sunday, freeze them, and then pop one straight into a lunchbox for a moist, tender and delicious midmorning or late-afternoon snack.
