Vegan Snacks My Kids Will Actually Eat: Part 2

Picture me perched next my children and the most recently offered snack or meal, eyes wide in anticipation of their verdict (which they give so casually) - yum or yuck? Then quickly remembering to feign nonchalance (a must - they sense the desperation) and springing up like a cat!

 OK, I'm not really that sad and my kids aren't really that fussy or spoilt, but it's not far from the truth!

 Here are some snacks my kids have loved recently:

These samosas filled with potatoes and peas are from Vegan Lunch Box. They are a bit time consuming to make, but it was worth the effort because Sylvia ate them for two days straight!


"Cheesy" pasta is a staple for us. So quick and they always love it.


 These maple syrup cupcakes were so delicious and light. I made a bit of icing with icing sugar, vanilla and rice milk to go on top. 

My kids didn't like these peaches so much, but loved the custard (I made it with soy milk). Such a nice dish for cold weather. 

I make these chocolate chip pikelets a lot. I love that they contain flaxseed. They are quick to make and great to take places. 

 [This follows on from my last post on vegan snacks for kids.]

    I've got that samosa recipe listed for my Vegan MoFo this year (my theme is Will My Kids Eat This? because I'm desperate to find more meals for them to eat!) :)

      Oh I can't wait to see your mofo posts! Obviously I'm always on the look out for stuff my kids will eat :) I hope your kids like these samosas. They are really good!

    I was particularly impressed at your sylvia eating the samosas two days in a row - I sometimes have made a breakthrough with some dish only to find that by the next day my sylvia has gone off it. Everything looks delicious to me. (See, I am so much easier to please than kids!)

      Haha you're welcome for dinner anytime Johanna :) I was surprised at Sylvia eating the samosas for 2 days as well, unusual for her! I love leftovers but she is not usually a fan...

    I would happily take any of these, except perhaps the 'cheesy' pasta because I never liked regular cheesy pasta and haven't been able to bring myself to try the vegan sort :P

      Thanks Kari! You may like it- doesn't really taste cheesy, just a name that stuck :) just savoury yeast, salt and oil!
