There's nothing like new academic planners, sharpened pencils, and empty notebooks to get us in the mood for back-to-school season. In addition to all things pumpkin spice, fall comes with some truly delicious recipes, but too often, kids (and adults) who have a peanut allergy can't get a taste. Keep reading for some peanut-free back-to-school recipes that kids of all ages — from pre-K to high school to your own office lunch — won't be able to get enough of.
Back-to-School Breakfasts
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Muffins
Nothing feels like a fall breakfast quite like a cinnamon-apple combo. These muffins are easy to make and can also double as a lunchbox treat. Add in chocolate chips, raisins, or berries if you're feeling fancy. (via Brit + Co)
Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie
With berries, collagen, and dates, this smoothie packs a punch. Not only does it taste good, but it's chock-full of ingredients that your skin (and your tastebuds) will love. (via Brit + Co)
British Breakfast Burritos
With meat, beans, potatoes, and eggs, these burritos are sure to keep you satisfied until lunch. Every ingredient in this recipe goes together, so each time you make it, you can leave things out or make swaps depending on what you're craving that day. (via Brit + Co)
School Lunch Ideas
Vegan Baked Brie
This recipe is great for anyone who can't have peanuts or dairy. That cheesy flavor and consistency comes from cashews and nutritional yeast, and the garlic on top adds a nice bite that cuts through the richness of the recipe. Our favorite way to eat brie is with crackers and raspberries. (via Brit + Co)
Mason Jar Salad
The great thing about a recipe like a mason jar salad is that it has everything you need in one condensed place, and it provides some portion control. One thing we'd recommend is making sure your lettuce sits on the very top to avoid eating a soggy salad. (via Brit + Co)
Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
Even picky eaters will love these chicken tenders! We love using an air fryer for this recipe because it cuts back on the oil that you would usually use to fry them without taking away any of the crunchy goodness. (via Brit + Co)
Snacks
Matcha Yogurt Bark
If you can't get enough of matcha (honestly, same), then you *must* make this yogurt bark recipe. It's a tasty frozen treat that's perfect for the end of summer. We added raspberries and coconut flakes for some extra texture that can't be beat. (via Brit + Co)
Cheese-Stuffed Mini Peppers
Peppers are low-calorie but full of nutrients like Vitamin A. Add your favorite soft cheese (or cream cheese) and sprinkle some herbs on top for a tasty snack. It's a quick and easy addition to any after-school study sesh. (via Brit + Co)
Gluten-Free Baked Avocado “Fries”
This back-to-school recipe swaps your French fries' usual potatoes for avocados. It's a little bit healthier (and completely gluten-free) and still tastes amazing with spicy aioli. (via Brit + Co)
Dessert Back-to-School Recipes
Healthy Chocolate SunButter Cups
When you can't have peanuts, sunButter is a great alternative that still gives you that dose of saltiness. It goes great with toast, bananas, and chocolate. Thank goodness. (via Brit + Co)
Chocolate Banana Bread Mug Cake
Mug cakes are a college staple as far as we're concerned, and this chocolate banana bread version will become your go-to. Since it only takes five minutes to make, it's the perfect study break. (via Brit + Co)
Easy Apple Tarts
Apple tarts are a wonderful addition to any fall day and just happen to be the perfect treat for back-to-school season. They can be served warm on chilly evenings and cold on warm afternoons. It's the best of both worlds! (via Brit + Co)
