Favorite Classroom Recipes

By: Bob's Red Mill | September 3 2018
Teachers with a classroom full of picky eaters equal a recipe for disaster. Unless you bring in a plateful of one of these delicious, yet healthy recipes. Not only are these recipes below quick and easy to make, they are so tasty kids will gobble them up. And of course, their teacher will too.

Bavarian Spelt Soft Pretzels

Favorite Classroom Recipes _ Bob’s Red Mill Who doesn't love a deliciously warm and soft pretzel, dipped in mustard or a homemade cheese sauce? Not anyone we know that's for sure! This recipe only requires 10 minutes of prep time and 10-12 minutes to cook. You do have to allow for 2-2 1/2 hours of wait time to let the dough rise properly. This crowd favorite starts organic spelt flour and artisan bread flour, combined with active dry yeast and baking soda. Milk, egg and dark brown sugar complete the ingredient list, with coarse sea salt to help make it the classic pretzel. Seriously, no one can resist a hot, salty pretzel, not even the pickiest of classrooms! We dare you to give them a shot.

Four Ingredient Shortbread Cookies

Shortbread cookies are always a fan favorite, especially in the classroom. But how about switching up the classic recipe and making gluten free, low carb shortbread cookies! Not to mention, these shortbread cookies are so good, you can’t even tell they’ve been tweaked for dietary needs. Did we mention how quick and easy they are to make? There’s only 10 minutes of prep time and 12 minutes of cook time. You can't beat that! They’re made with almond flour, along with softened butter, vanilla extract and erythritol or a sweetener of choice. To make these treats, you’ll need to beat your butter and sweetener together. The mix should look fluffy and light in color. Mix in your vanilla extract and then add your almond flour to the mix. Your dough should be sticky, yet still dense and crumbly. Use a spoon to scoop out your dough onto a baking pan, and flatten them out. Then just pop them into the oven and bake until the edges look as though they’ve turned a nice golden color. Could there be an easier cookie to make?

Ham and Asparagus Quiche Cups

These delicious little quiche cups are sure to be a crowd pleaser in any classroom, because who doesn't like ham, cheese and eggs? Fresh spring asparagus gives these little guys some veggie power, and the kids will hardly notice there are any vegetables under all the cheddar. This recipe uses a base of gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour along with eggs, ricotta cheese, chopped asparagus, chopped ham and shredded sharp cheddar. They only take about 15 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook. The best part about these muffins is you can take them to the classroom and easily pass out a muffin for each child. These quiche cups are wildly flavorful and can even make for a pretty darn good midnight snack if you bring some leftovers home.

Savory Cheese Sausage Balls

Meatballs are always a hit with children. Which makes them great to feed a classroom during a potluck or a party. These meatballs present a bit of a twist on the typical meatball. For these, you will use sausage and cheese instead of beef and Italian seasonings. These sausage balls only take about 10 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook, making them super easy to prepare for a crowd. They start with organic unbleached white all purpose flour, baking powder, uncooked spicy sausage and veggie cream cheese. You can always use mild or sage-flavored sausage to eliminate the heat for kids. Make sure you soften the cream cheese to room temperature before you try to use it, and don’t forget your sharp cheddar cheese to help ramp up the flavor. The great thing about this recipe is you can make your sausage balls as little or as large as you'd like. We recommend making them into 1-inch balls, but some people prefer the gigantic size instead. Whatever suits your fancy, just keep in mind you’ll have to adjust the cooking time the larger you make them. Once you cook these, they can be easily stored and reheated as leftovers, which means they’re great for snacking throughout the day. That is if there are any leftover after you share them with the class!
