Cookie and Kate homemade granola bars. It sounds like a lot of work, but if you have a heavy-duty food processor, it is not. They are delicious and satisfying.

I tend to always have plenty of old-fashioned oats, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup around. I've made this with lots of different combinations of mix-ins, and they have all been delicious.

(I'm off to look up chick pea cookie dough now!)

Baked egg cups in a muffin tin, with coffee veggies. Like mini fritattas.

Also do the cooks illustrated bakery muffins but cut the sugar by 1/3, and instead of 3 cups flour do 1 cup AP flour, 1 cup white whole wheat and one cup almond flour. I add 1/3 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped berries. It calls for yogurt and I use Greek yogurt to increase protein.

We make the copy cat Starbucks pumpkin muffins.

There’s a recipe for carrot muffins on Epicurious that I love — the comments suggest adding some oat bran in buttermilk and I usually do that. They are so good. Instead is shredding the carrots I grind them in cuisinart so there is not carrot shred in muffin.

I also like the peanut butter chocolate chip balls on how sweet eats. They are very high fiber and protein and don’t need baking.

Mini quiche also freeze pretty well. I make them in a silicone mini muffin pan because it’s so much easier to clean.


when you say grind the carrots, you mean chop really small but not quite puree?


I'm also curious for the carrot muffin recipe.

Chocolate chip cookie dough made out of chickpeas. It sounds gross, but it is amazing for what it is. It hits the craving while being healthier than the real thing. Still junk food, but it has at least some redeeming qualities while scratching the junk food itch.

I used to bake and freeze a lot of muffins and so forth for my kids, but I had a rough pregnancy and got out of the habit. I'd love to get back in the groove and spend some time this summer making and freezing things for the fall that they can either eat at school or as snacks when they get home. Please save my children from Z-Bars.

Stuff I already have in mind:
muffins full of carrots or apples
meatballs (bake and freeze, they can microwave)

What else is quick and easy to make in large batches, freezes well, and doesn't make a ton of mess to eat?
