### Pumpkin Spice Cookie Dough
You might frown at the idea of cookie dough as a treat, but true fans of Pumpkin Spice Cookie Dough know exactly what I mean. Crafted from pumpkin puree, it resembles traditional cookie dough yet is entirely safe to eat. Just blend the ingredients and add your favorite toppings.
### Mini Pizza Bites
Everything is cuter in miniature form, and Mini Pizza Bites are no exception. This quick recipe appeals to people of all ages. Customize it to be vegan or gluten-free based on your ingredient choices. You can top them with cheese, marinara, or pesto for a new twist. They’re completely customizable and delightful.
### Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ready in just 30 minutes, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins are both healthy and tasty. If you have overripe bananas that are becoming mushy, this is the perfect way to use them. It’s time to leave Banana Bread and Banana Smoothies behind and give these muffins a try. Plus, they’re a low-calorie, guilt-free snack for everyone.
### Overnight Oats
Overnight Oats require no cooking and are prepared the night before. Combine rolled oats with your choice of milk in a jar, refrigerate overnight, and in the morning, add your preferred fruits and enjoy. For added flavor, I like to include a bit of peanut or almond butter. These wholesome and filling oats are one of the best ways to treat your body.
### PB & J Smoothie
The PB & J smoothie stands out as my favorite back-to-school treat. It’s tasty, needs just a few ingredients, and can be whipped up in 5 minutes. True smoothie enthusiasts will know I’m not exaggerating. Blend strawberries, bananas, peanut butter, jelly, and yogurt to create a creamy, nutritious delight.
### Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Another quick recipe that takes just 30 minutes! Whenever I make chocolate chip cookies, I often choose to bake them as bars instead. They’re prepared similarly, but I find the bar shape more appealing than traditional cookies. Even if you skip all the other recipes, make sure to give these a try—this classic treat is a back-to-school favorite.
### No-Bake Almond Balls
No back-to-school treat list would be complete without a no-bake recipe. If you’re in agreement, try these No-Bake Almond Balls. Simply blend the ingredients, shape them into balls, and freeze for 30 minutes. I like to include mini chocolate chips for extra flavor. These almond balls are sweet, creamy, and an ideal welcome back to school snack.
