1- Peanut Butter Cookies
They might be a little young to learn the nuances of creaming butter and leveling teaspoons of baking soda, but that doesn’t mean that kids can’t have one recipe that they can call their own. This recipe is so easy to master, your little chefs will be shooing you out of the kitchen in no time.

1 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Mix ingredients in big bowl. Scoop into small balls and arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees F. Let cool on rack.

2- Fruit with Creamy Dip
This tangy-sweet dip could be used for any number of fruits or berries, and the cherry stems make dipping extra fun.

1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Cherries with stems attached
Stir sour cream, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Rinse cherries and arrange them for dipping.

3-Jam and Graham Cracker Cheesecake
I have yet to meet a kid who didn’t like cheesecake, and I have yet to meet a parent who wasn’t terrified of having one at arm’s reach. This snack is the perfect way for everyone to have the taste they want without the fat and calories of a whole slice.

3 ounces of cream cheese, softened for 10 seconds in the microwave
3 tablespoons strawberry jam
A few sheets of graham crackers, broken into squares or rectangles
Mix the softened cream cheese with the jam. Spread a little of the mixture on top of each graham cracker. Either eat right away, or chill for 30 minutes. The grahams will soften and become more like a cheesecake crust, and the topping will firm up.

4-Tortilla Pizzas
Healthy Snacks for Kids, When I asked a friend with two young daughters what they like to eat she answered in just one word: “Cheese!”
“Not peanut butter and jelly?”
“Just cheese!”
“Apples and oranges?”
“Only cheese. Sometimes tacos.”
Ladies, this one is for you.

5-Homemade Potato Chips
If you’re still telling your kids to not eat potato chips, it’s probably because you didn’t know you could make them in your microwave without a smidgen of grease. For real. I could tell you more, but I suspect you’re already in the kitchen trying this out.

One Russet potato sliced paper thin
Salt (optional)
Parchment paper
Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit a plate. Lay discs of potato on top in a flat layer, none touching. Sprinkle layer with salt, if desired. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Microwave for 5-6 minutes. Discs will have become lightly browned potato chips.

6- Chocolate Banana Crepes
If your kid is obsessed with chocolate-covered frozen bananas, he’ll love our healthful approach to this glorious duo. Easier to make than banana bread, these are addictive either hot or cold, for breakfast or dessert. Just don’t forget to save one for the kids.

Pat of butter
One banana, thinly sliced
Handful chocolate chips
Two flour tortillas
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional) Healthy Snacks for Kids
Melt butter in nonstick pan. Arrange banana slices over one tortilla and mash them in very lightly with a fork. Dot with chocolate chips and place second tortilla on top. Slide into frying pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown and golden at the edges. Let cool for a minute or two, then slice into wedges and serve dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.

7- Carrots with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Trying to break the peanut butter and jelly habit in the under-12 set is no easy task, but this mellowed peanut-sesame dip just might do the trick. It’s equally good with carrots or tossed with cold noodles.
