These healthy no-bake apple donuts are a healthy and fun treat to make for toddlers and kids! These 3-ingredient bites are a play on the classic chocolate donut but the canvas is an apple! They’re crisp, chocolatey and sweet.
Trying to create healthy snacks my toddler will eat can be hard, especially because what toddler/kid doesn’t love sugar? These apple donuts have the health factor but also the sweetness kids love. All it takes are some apples, your favorite chocolate spread and sprinkles. I have many more healthy no-bake snacks I make for my toddler here on my blog, including my Cacao Balls and Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars that are only 3 ingredients!
These are great to serve for snack or dessert! I love these for an after school or play date snack! I hope you love this recipe as much and my toddler and I do!
Ingredients
Apples – you can use whatever apple you like. I used Granny Smith and honey crisp for this recipe
Chocolate Spread – you can use Nutella or whatever you have at home! I have been using the chocolate almond spread from Trader Joe’s for this recipe
Sprinkles – I like to use dye-free sprinkles when I can for healthier treats. These are the sprinkles I use – Dye-Free Sprinkles
Apple Corer or Fruit/Vegetable Cutter – I use these so much from Amazon – Kids Veggie/Fruit Cutters. It’s also what I use for this recipe
Tips
Let apples soak in a lemon/salt water – This is completely OPTIONAL, but will keep the apples from browning and will keep them crisp!
To make- Mix together 3 cups water, 3 teaspoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon salt
For Littles
These are a fun healthy treat for littles! These also a great way to get your little ones to eat apples! You can serve this to you little 2 years +!
How To
Chop and your apples and core them. Spread out on a baking sheet and spread the chocolate spread over the apples and then top with sprinkles. Enjoy!:)
