This Carrot Hummus Jack O’Lantern English Muffin is a festive balanced meal or snack option to offer your whole family this Halloween season!
Hi Friends!
If you have followed my blog or social media accounts for any time, you know that one of my favorite type of blog posts to create are festive and creative snack offerings. I find such fulfillment in creating creative snack offerings that will hopefully excite your little ones about nutrition-packed foods such as fruits and vegetables. Specifically, I really enjoy coming up with festive ideas for Halloween and Christmas! Check out some of my other holiday-themed posts here.
Today I was actually working on updating photos for this Carrot Peanut Butter Pumpkin snack, a recipe I created more than five years ago when I came up with the idea for this Carrot Hummus Jack O’Lantern English Muffin recipe. Both recipes are actually quite similar, but given one of the main ingredients is hummus (instead of peanut butter) I decided it was worth a new post. Why didn’t I think of the carrot + hummus combo five years ago?!
This Carrot Hummus Jack O’Lantern English Muffin recipe can be served as part of a meal or a snack. As with most of my food art recipes, the creation of this English Muffin recipe is an excellent way to get the kiddos involved in the kitchen. Some children may be able to assemble the entire Jack O’Lantern English Muffin. While younger children could help out with one or two aspects of the assembly process such as spread the hummus, add the carrots, or place the raisins.
Don’t be afraid to serve this at your kiddos next Halloween party for a healthier option! It allows you to provide a nutrition-packed option and help balance all the candy and sweet treats they will likely be offered. All the parents will be thankful!
I would love to hear what festive foods you like to serve your kiddos!
