| There is an allergy to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and mustard seed..other than rice crispy treats? |
| Mini scones? No eggs in the dough. I like the cranberry orange scone recipe on Epicurious--just make them way smaller and use whatever fruit you like, or chocolate chips. Use a food processor to mix the butter in. |
| Mini muffins. |
|
Is this as part of a larger breakfast spread? ie, everyone is bringing something? What is the age range?
-fruit kebabs on bamboo skewers... provided the kids are old enough and the school will let you in with dangerous weapons
-make rice krispy treats with cornflakes instead. My mom used to make them for christmas (+green food coloring + red hots = xmas wreaths). -yogurt parfaits? I'm surprised there's no dairy allergy. |
they are first graders-not a big spread-I am bringing in a snack, someone else has fruit and someone else has juice-supposed to be a light meal-the party is at 9 am. thank you all for the suggestions! |
| What about mini-bagels with different, fun topping choices that avoid all of the allergy areas you mentioned? |
|
Can you buy some allergy-free equivalent to quaker chewy bar?
I'd also bring individual containers of mini-yogurt. Pricey at $4 or so for half a dozen, but easy. |
Oh! You could also do this with yogurt. Have a frozen fruit topping, a cereal or two, chocolate chips, banana chips, marshmallows, and raisins. |
op here-it would be my son who would start a "skewer fight/war" |
| HOw about little granola parfaits? My daughter's pre-school class made them for us for Mother's Day. Clear plastic cup, little bit of fruit in the bottom, yogurt, sprinkling of granola on top. They were great! |
| Granola, with the exception of a few brands, contains or is x-contaminated with peanuts and/or tree nuts. Enjoy Life brand and some of the Bear Naked brands are "safe". Does your school require you to bring in all the packaging? A lot of store bought "goodies" (pretty much anything from the bakery department or from a factory) have allergy warnings. |
| Whole Foods sells refrigerated canisters of Immaculate Baking Company products like scones, croissants, cinnamon buns, and biscuits - many of them are egg and nut free. In our egg and nut-free house, we love the cinnamon buns because they are really sumptuous for something that is egg and nut free... |
| Make some mini blueberry muffins and banana muffins (no nuts!) and make a fruit bowl with fingerfood fruit (grapes, strawberries, cubed apples). |
| yogurt parfait |
| How about something savory? Like mini quiche/ tarts with a savory filling. Since there's no dairy or gluten allergy here, no problem with a regular shortcrust pastry for the shells. Just squish a ball into each cavity of a mini-muffin tin, fill and bake. For the filling you could use some soft cheese mixed with jarred roasted red pepper, herbs, or any flavoring of choice. |
