Healthy Baking for Lunch Ideas

rainbowpride, Aug 21, 3:16am
We have an 11 year old who gets food off others at school. I thought if I gave him some nice homecooked but healthy things to take to school this might help control this. I appreciate any ideas. He likes pretty much anything.

1 C rolled oats
2 T golden syrup

Make up a batch of his favourite muffins. Wrap each separately in plastic wrap and freeze. Very easy to just grab 1 or 2 in the mornings.
