10 Healthy Halloween Recipes (and Treats) for Kids

Green Apple Monsters

Emily from This Healthy Table has created these adorable green apple monsters that are the perfect Halloween treat for kids. With only 5 ingredients, you’ll have this healthy Halloween recipe whipped up in only 20 minutes, making it the ideal after-school snack. 

The crunchy, tart apple, creamy peanut butter, and rich cheddar cheese are the perfect blend of flavors and nutrients to keep your Birdies satisfied until dinner. Follow along with Emily’s instructions here.

Babybel Cheese Monsters

Speaking of monsters, how CUTE are these Babybel cheese monsters? Turning Babybel into adorable Halloween monsters might just be our favorite healthy Halloween treat for your Birdies. This spooky treat only takes 5 minutes to whip up, plus it’s a great use of the candy eyes you already have from your spooky apple monsters!

Include your Babybel monsters in your packed lunches this Halloween or surprise the kids with a fun and easy after-school snack. You can follow along with Beth’s steps here. 

Halloween Fruit Salad

This Halloween we’re helping your kids eat more fruit and veg! One of the easiest ways to do this is by making a spooktacular and irresistible Halloween fruit salad. Simply carve a watermelon (into your jack-o-lantern) and have your kid's favorite fruits spilling out. Top with decorative spider rings for an extra spooky touch. We absolutely loved this example from Fooddoodles. 

Banana Ghost Popsicles

Bananas are the perfect snack to turn into ghosts! This easy and healthy Halloween recipe will only take you 15 minutes to prepare and it’s a great way to use up those extra bananas. The Greek yogurt coating will add a bit of protein to your Birdie's afternoon, keeping them full longer. You can even serve these as a quick breakfast on the go (just make sure to freeze them the night before).

Pumpkin Veggie Tray

When it comes to getting your kids excited about eating their veggies, presentation is everything! What kid doesn’t want to dive into this pumpkin veggie tray with creamy ranch dressing (veggies best friend!)? Simply assemble your vegetables into the shape of a pumpkin, with two small dipping bowls as the eyes. 

This healthy Halloween snack will take you less than 10 minutes to put together. It’s a great after-school snack, party tray, or appetizer before dinner. You can follow along with a recipe here.

Mummy Mini Pizzas

Make these cute and creepy mini mummy pizzas for your next family pizza party! These are an even healthier Halloween recipe because Julia uses spinach and chicken to make her pizza ‘base’. However, you can still make these mini mummy pizzas using your family’s favorite pizza dough. 

We love these mini mummy pizzas because even with Julia’s healthy base, they only take 30 minutes (from start to finish!) That means there’s plenty of time for Halloween movies and cuddles before bed. Make your own mini mummy pizzas here.

Pretzel Spiders 

Speaking of healthy Halloween treats, these pretzel spiders are made with kid-approved energy balls! And sticking with our theme of easy Halloween recipes, these pretzel spiders take about 15 minutes to make. Made from oats, dates, and peanut butter, you’ll wish you’d doubled the recipe! 

To make these even spookier, you can use some leftover candy eyes in place of pine nuts. Follow along with Aleksandra’s recipe for pretzel spiders here. 

Peanut Butter Spider Cookies

Packed with oats and peanut butter, these cute cookies will satisfy your Halloween sweet tooth! We love freshly baked cookies, especially when they’re filled with ingredients you can feel good about. Decorated with spiders and flies, this creepy crawly treat is perfect for Halloween. Follow along with the recipe here.

Mandarin Orange Pumpkins

You know those busy days when everything gets away from you? Yup, we all have them! This easy Halloween treat is the perfect after-school snack for those busy fall days. You only need 3 ingredients and 10 minutes to whip up a snack the kids will love. You can even store these in the fridge for up to 3 days – which means you can make ahead! 

Make mandarin orange pumpkins with these easy-to-follow instructions.

Healthy Frankenstein Muffins

These muffins taste just like bananas, with the added spooky nutrients of spinach. Add chocolate chips and you’ll have a fun Frankenstein muffin for breakfast, packed lunches, or after-school snack. We love any chance to sneak spinach into our kid's food – and these healthy Halloween muffins do just that. 

These are kid-approved with this recipe getting 5 stars from over 600 reviews! Make these super green Frankenstein muffins for Halloween. Steal the recipe here.
