Healthy Snacks: Homemade Oatmeal Bars & Veggie Muffins (Egg-Free!)

[@terrimueller6351]

Thank you for more great recipes! I don't have any young grandchildren anymore, but I will be making these with larger people in mind.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I am making these now, just for myself! Thanks Rachel! 🌻

[@debbiemusgrove676]

My 25-year-old grandson is dating a girl with a six-year-old. He is such a good eater and I know he would love these. Going to make these to encouraging him to eat healthy.

[@marciahohn4521]

i LOVE the idea of cooking for little ones!

[@belieftransformation]

Yummy looking & nutritious! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦

[@CS-bn4un]

You are so right about seasonings in foods for littles! My children are all young adults now, but as they were weaned or nursed and started solids, I made very few alterations with my cooking seasoning wise once we established potential allergen issues with some caution of course. The results are adult children that eat a wide range of foods and flavors; all can hold their own in the kitchen; and one even pursued culinary training! Can’t wait to try these recipes! (For the grands of course🙄 )

[@cindiegrimm5983]

These would be great for seniors, like myself, to have around for a snack or even for days when I don't feel like cooking.

[@marilyncapehart663]

I need this myself Rachel., I love protein bars because it cost a lot just for a few bars., thanks for sharing 2-13-2023👍🏽❤️

[@jennbama]

I also peeled mandarins, individual froze them and then put in snack bags for a quick lunch snack. I saw this on Suttons Daze and loved the idea.

[@denisebrady6858]

Hey Rachel no Grandchildren here but I am going to make these for the kids across the road & us as well - they looked fantastic. Cheers Denise- Australia

[@elizabethanne6361]

It is so much fun to make your baby’s foods. I made all of my daughters food from the beginning and she is a good eater because of it.

[@karens3670]

Thank you! I plan to share this video with my daughter and daughters-in-law!

[@carriem7832]

Having good kiddie snacks are important…I remember many years ago when I was around seven I’d stay at my aunts house in Hamtramck Mich…….my cousin and I would earn a treat by pulling weeds in my aunts beautiful flower beds. It was called a frozen Lindie…..a small paper cup filled with fruit and juice, sometimes tiny pieces of veggies in fresh pineapple juice. They sold them at the corner market. When I made them for my littles instead of a popsicle stick I’d use a piece of a pretzel stick for a holder…..homemade frozen pudding is good also. Yummy popsicles….silicone ice cube trays would work…..frozen mashed bananas, chocolate milk, yogurt, homemade ice cream without all the added junk. I’d make grilled cheese Sammie’s an cut into safe sizes and freeze ahead, need a hurry up lunch take out what you need and warm in the air fryer. Healthy cereal with raisins put in a kiddie snack cup that doesn’t spill. I make my son in law a healthy rice crispy bar he’s loves a lot……..have fun 😊

[@annabenedict9419]

I will be tracking with you on this series

[@laurenbrock9964]

What a great Grandma you are! ❤️ thanks for all the information you share with us. I truly enjoy and appreciate all of it!

[@justpatty7328]

Wonderful video to inspire young and old to make healthier, nutritious and inexpensive treats at home! YES!

[@bethaspell1827]

I made granola bars with sour dough starter. Itcwas great. And the blueberry muffins with the sour dough starter itcwas great

[@chelseasrusticroots]

So glad your back!!!!! I e missed your videos! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@slh9564]

I have shredded zucchini frozen and never thought of using it for savory muffins. I struggle to come up with a different starch for dinner and the muffins are a great idea. I will make them more adult-friendly by adding sliced fried hot peppers and onions with the zucchini. You got me thinking outside the box.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Hi Rachel, this is wonderful. We are going to be Grandparent again for the 3rd time. I'm going to make this for our 3 YO Grandson. Blessings, Rochelle

[@jenniferrue6580]

I’m obsessed with that sweater! ❤

[@sharongeary6857]

Thank you so much! I was searching for this information!!!

[@debbieembury6885]

I have my grand kids 4 days a week I love being able to help them learn what whole good foods are I do a lot of mini muffins for them fruit and or veggies

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Welcome back, Rachel! Both recipes look yummy and easy for freezer to table use. Thanks, looking forward to more in this series! ☺

[@kellyhawes9293]

You are such a great mom and grandma! There is no better gift than to give healthy food, teach healthy eating and growing your own food.❤

[@kathykieler8174]

Wow, they look delights for an adult, too. I want to try these! Thank you, Rachel! From the heart of Iowa

[@spartacus3015]

Right on time

[@mrs.creeksidemaples2866]

Rachel dear… this is a most Timely Video… thrilled for this series ✨

[@loismyers6220]

Going to try these recipes. Have a one year old granddaughter I babysit. Thank you for your inspiration. Greatly appeciated.

[@leeannfree8577]

Thank you for sharing these. I made the oatmeal bars today for my kids. They are very good and I easy to make!

[@dorothyweeksfoster3667]

Welcome Back Rachel.... missed you!!

[@ariainman6691]

Two SUPER RECIPES....Thank you for sharing. AND THEY ARE HEALTHY. YES

[@4themotherload]

What a great idea/recipes for the toddler's in your life. Totally agree with you about introducing flavours to your kids, if you have allergies you have to take that into consideration. Our motto with our kids was always to let them try new things and honestly, other than not giving your kids honey before one or dealing with a allergy, your kids should be able to eat what your eating (your going to have to cut things accordingly). I make a veggie muffin to this day that the whole family loves and I don't have toddlers anymore.

[@janelucas382]

Go Grandma! Great video. Wonderful information.

[@TheAtHomeBaker]

Thank you for this!! So helpful as a mom to 15 month old twins🙏

[@AllieKozick]

I am excited about this new series.

[@jackiehorsley9263]

muffins look great I love eating anything heathy thanks for sharing that

[@lisalink6976]

Great idea and great timing. We will be going on a trip in a couple of weeks with older grandkids (11 & 9). I will be making the granola bars to take with us. As for the veggie muffins, they may be a side for us tonight.

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

I'm heading to CA in a few weeks to help out again with my grandbaby. I'm taking these recipes with me. She eats a wide variety of foods already and these will be another good option. Tfs!

[@amandap5664]

My child has an egg allergy as well and I have been baking egg free for 10 years. Flax is a wonderful replacement for banana breads and muffins. And cream cheese is AMAZING for cookies.

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Healthy snack ideas are always awesome!!

[@shelly7017]

Thank you for sharing. We might try the recipes you shared today. Masa is good in place of cornmeal. It's more corn flavored.

[@juliabrown3434]

This is perfect! My son is 16 months and doesn’t eat eggs or dairy. I will be trying these to see what he thinks of them - sometimes he will eat my homemade versions and other times he won’t! I expect the muffins will be a hit but not the cereal bars… fortunately, I’m always happy to eat what he doesn’t 😁 Looking forward to seeing what you do in the rest of the series.

[@heartofmythril]

It's coincidental that I've been searching for an oatmeal bar recipe for breakfasts. What interesting timing!

[@maxineirvin-guzman4143]

I already know I’m going to absolutely love this series!! My daughter is 9 months old and unfortunately she has a dairy allergy, so I understand it’s very hard. I’m still breastfeeding so my diet had to completely change! I’m excited to see more of this series 🫶🏽 Thank you so much for doing this!!

[@susanhenley8240]

Am looking forward to more of these healthy snack videos. I make all of our grandson's snacks (graham crackers, cheese crackers, etc.) and am always looking for more ideas.

[@nickimauger7179]

❤💜❤ your sweaters

[@calisingh7978]

Thank you! Much appreciated for a picky toddler!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Rachel. It is so good to see you in the kitchen making some yummy foods for your grandkids. How are the grandchildren anyway? Hope things are doing great for them. Rachel, you are such a Blessing to be here with your viewers. God Bless you and can't wait to see another food favorite of yours. Take care. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘

[@1870s]

The babies are both doing awesome, amazing how fast they are growing ♥

[@tracyzabelle]

So healthy

[@charlenejutras1595]

I love this video! I have four grandchildren 6 and under and I will definitely be trying these recipes- and I think I will like them, too. Thank you for sharing.

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

My granddaughter is 3 but I made all of her baby food from scratch and using organic ingredients. When she turned one, that all went down the tube. She lives off of spaghettios, chicken nuggets, pizza and spaghetti, not because her parents and I don't try to feed her nutritious food, it's because she's extremely picky and likes to eat the same things like her dad. Even making homemade muffins and quick breads is usually a no go for her. And not only is she picky but she eats very little. I have to threaten her (in a grandmotherly way), to get her to eat pizza. At school she has eaten the same exact meal since school started. Boscoe Sticks. The only time she hasn't is because a teacher tried to get her to eat something different. But she always goes back to Boscoe Sticks. So I try to have her snacks at my house be healthy like raisins and dried fruits and granola bars and apples. She'll go through a bag of apples in a day because she doesn't believe in eating them alone. She gives me one whenever she eats it. We've eaten three apples in a day. 😂😂 I envy the people who have good eaters. Trying to get the nutrition in when I can. Those granola bars look amazing.

[@KC-oo7yk]

Thank you!

[@kittyrichards9915]

Welcome back! You were missed. Perfect timing, I have been thinking about homemade granola bars.

[@user-hq3gn5xy3m]

Big thank you for the no egg recipes. Have to try veggie muffins, never thought! Do oatmeal bars all the time, no bake with dates.

[@Hollyhomestead]

I’m definitely going to be making these for my 9 month old, he LOVES feeding himself and these are perfect for little hands

[@Serenity_Craft]

I want to try those muffins and add chia seeds. I have become obsessed with chia.

[@ericawaymaster2919]

My husband is also allergic to eggs. I love to see egg free recipes! We have to get creative sometimes.

[@pamelapelech3249]

Looks wonderful. Great recipes.

[@jchai1343]

That was great ,and so glad you finally added the recipe thank you for that!

[@hopeburbo4372]

those look amazing, thank you for sharing

[@tintinjacks4371]

welcome home

[@lorriebell7997]

❤❤❤

[@emilyb5972]

👍

[@emilyb5972]

😊

[@buckeyethor]

You should try to make little freeze dried yogurt dots. My kids were obsessed with those when they were toddlers!

[@justpatty7328]

I was thinking of the yogurt bites too.

[@vitalityhomeinstead1838]

Ooohhhh, you should make an Amish friendship version of muffins….. yes please!

[@libbyleatherwood6940]

Thank you Rachel! I will definitely be making both of these. I to, try to feed my grand babies healthy food!

[@theshizninja]

I made veggie shredded chicken corn muffins to get my son to eat meats. Hand held food

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I buy all the supplies for my granola bars, trail mix, cereal, etc in bulk at an Amish store, so it costs a fraction of the price of store bought. It’s also very good to buy bread making supplies in bulk too.

[@mommajessiesboutique]

Looks so yummy!! Going to have to make those this evening for family. My twin boys have been really wanting me to bake some granola bars but couldn't decide on a recipe.

[@lindafessant8021]

Those look delicious

[@tinafisher]

nice!

[@jennbama]

I made homemade fig newton's this week. The grandkids loved thembut mine are all over 2 now.

[@Imjetta7]

Bob’s Red Mill makes a fabulous egg replacer; I’ve used it with excellent results for about 3 years now.

[@OnaMuir]

This is great. Opposite end of spectrum-my 92 year young mom! Better than Oreos! TY. 🤗 Glad you are home; hope all is well.

[@han_cx245]

thank you. Perfect recipes considering the high cost of eggs. 😊

[@terrihart2133]

I'm sure the Gkids will love these. I used to make granola and my kids loved it.

[@victoriajohnson3034]

If applicable. Adding peanut butter too is yummy for oat bars.

[@countrymommaxoxo2020]

Love this new series I m going to implement this with my new grandbaby! CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE what kind of freezer alarm you have I can’t seem to find the video on it and n desperately need of one soon that works well thank you 😊

[@tedhartley5766]

Our grand baby has been eating from Grammy’s pantry. First we started out with apple sauce and peach sauce. Then moved to green beans then ugly chicken, but she likes it with something else. The other day I put applesauce and chicken together. Made teething biscuits for her. I want to teach her how to cook and help Grammy in the kitchen when I am cooking. Welcome back, missed you. Diane Hartley

[@carriem7832]

😊lol my mom cut up liver in small pieces and I ate it mixed in applesauce……to this day I have to have applesauce with my pork….

[@jenniferc4083]

A good sweetener for the muffins might be carrot juice, or apple sauce or juice. They look and sound delicious!

[@barbaraslayden2277]

Looks delicious love from Virginia

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

Instead of syrup you could also use date sugar, which is just ground up dates. That way you still get the fiber along with the sweetness.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I was just thinking about making oat bars! This morning when walking the dog lol

[@brendahowell5946]

O my thanks! But also for kids! Trying do pantry challenge yet I have 3 that has to have breakfast, lunch, snacks for school it's been tuff

[@danielapettus7693]

You can still put the honey on top looks delicious 😋

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

Little kids like little things they can hold in their hands. I believe I will use a tart size tin for the muffins.

[@homesteadmccoy]

My first grandson is only 2 1/2 months old so I will be making those yummy granola bars for myself!

[@cherylh8924]

If I added my dehydrated vegetables, would you let it rest like the oat bars, so it would absorb the moisture, or just bake them? Thank you

[@1870s]

let them soak it up first, to make you don't need to add more moisture to them.

[@christinehickey3679]

You can use a combination of dried veg. Just grind them up and put some of the powder in your recipe. You can even add a couple of spoons to pancakes. They won't even know it's in there.!

[@likahawk2730]

I may have missed it, but couldn't find it in the video...how long and at what temp are the muffins baked?

[@deborahdunnell6343]

You don’t substitute anything for the eggs?

[@wendyfrench9599]

What did you put in before the nutmeg? I dont think you told us.

[@katrinalynn6]

thanks my nephews egg free and a lot of stuff is so complicated

[@cherihabegger9856]

Do you think instead of the nutritional yeast, I could add shredded cheese? I usually have cheese on hand that I could shred. Thank you for these recipes!

[@shannonbrice8012]

I had a friend who could not get her children to eat fruits and veggies and wanted to know how my kids would eat them. I told her they were eating fruits and veggies in everything. When they were little one of their favourite cookies were spiced carrot cookies. They loved spaghetti and so in the sauce would be little meat but tonnes of veggies. Cakes always had fruit or veggies in them. It is easy to start when they are younger than it is to try when the are older kids. To this day her kids are in their 20's and they still don't eat fruits and veggies.

[@susieqmartin2746]

Just a suggestion, I would put those granola bars on a popsicle stick, making it very easy and less messy for the child to eat!

[@AngiesPantry58]

🤗💞

[@HannahMattox]

How do you clean your coffee grinder? I use it for flax seeds since my husband went vegan and there's all kinds of food stuff in it, plus, eggs don't go in vegan food lol. I do what I can, but I was curious if maybe you have an easier way than I do it.

[@tiggywinkle7522]

White rice is great for cleaning it out. A couple Tbsp should do it.

[@annieanderson6112]

I'm curious about the muffin recipe. It says 2 tsp of honey. Is that correct? I don't recall u adding it to the recipe. If it is correct, does baking the honey remove the dangers for the young kids? Both recipes look good even tho I don't have young ones, we adults will enjoy them. Its good to have u back. I pray all is well with ur family. Thank u 💓.

[@1870s]

I think I left it out, please research adding it. Some say if baked it's safe, but I haven't done enough research myself to give you a confident answer
