7 Easy Kids Recipes Pumpkin and Halloween Fun

There are so many kid’s recipes for pumpkin and Halloween snacks. I have created some of my favorite healthy fall snacks for kids and a few unhealthy ones. They are simple, kid-friendly pumpkin recipes with fall flavors and fun!

I don’t always follow the directions; I use what I have, avoid migraine-trigger ingredients, and go from there. It has become part of my family’s lives. My children love to measure, get out ingredients, mix, taste, and see the results of their hard work. And I love all the math, science, reading, social, fine motor, and cultural lessons it provides. Although cooking deliciousness is my goal, the process sometimes seems so much! It’s a commitment to shop, prep, cook, and clean up. Often it takes way longer than I’d like and uses way more spoons than I have which is frustrating.

Pumpkin Recipes for Kids

It isn’t always possible to cook every day without having a migraine attack and living a busy life. I thought I’d start simple. I’m explaining 7 simple kid-friendly pumpkin and Halloween snacks for you to share and make. So whether I post on Monday or Friday, you can make it when it fits your schedule. It’s meant to inspire; try it if you have an OK day! If you don’t, try another day again. 

Kid-Friendly Pumpkin Recipes

If you like the recipe, please make it and share it with me. I’d love to see your results and adaptions. Post on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and comment on the post to inspire others. Check out my Pinterest board for Halloween and other pumpkin ideas.

I do not follow a strict diet. I avoid trigger foods but have not cut groups out of my life (I am not gluten-free, but Gf pumpkin muffins are a bonus!). When finding recipes, I look for clean, natural ingredients that are anti-inflammatory and nutrient-dense. I am not a nutritionist, and I fully admit I overeat sugar. Sharing recipes that make me feel better and taste good feels good. If you have one you’d like me to try, please email me at mymigrainelife@gmail.com. I’m more about being fun and kid-friendly than anything else.

Pumpkin Protein Muffins

This month I’m focusing on the pumpkin.  Everyone loves pumpkin in the Fall and the benefits of it are great!

Here’s the recipe I followed to make Gluten-free Pumpkin Muffins

Making Tyme for Health

We ate these for breakfast, in lunches, and as an after-school snack.  Easy and great for grab-and-go.

Pumpkin Protein Shake

Today was a quick and easy pumpkin protein shake! I have to say….it was great, but I’m not a pumpkin-everything type of girl. A festive drink or snack is enough for me. The shake I ended up making turned out pretty thick. It was satisfying, healthy, and a great afternoon to pick me up. It tasted like pumpkin pie and was filling. Pumpkin recipes for kids are my favorite.

I don’t have the measurements for this one since I just made it up from what I had. I am usually a throw-dash-of-this-and-that cook, so feel free to experiment with what you have.

Pumpkin puree

Vanilla protein

Almond milk

Pumpkin spice

Cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg (any of your favorite fall spices)

Pecans

Ice

Blend until smooth.  I added a little extra water once I blended it because it was too thick

Kids’ Halloween-Themed Snacks

As a mom and preschool teacher, I have been engrossed in Halloween-themed snacks and fun! With all this fun came pumpkin recipes for kids, snacks, candy, and lots of food! With all the candy around, I found a few ways to fit in Halloween-themed snacks that were healthy and slightly unhealthy but fun.
