4 Teacher Appreciation Treats

4 Teacher Appreciation Treats

Nothing says I appreciate you quite like a tasty treat. With the start of the school year kicking off, who deserves our thanks more than the teachers who work day in and day out to shape the future of America? Weve gathered a few of our favorite recipes that can be enjoyed by teachers and students alike. With these recipes, it will be easy to find the perfect dessert to show your teacher how much you care.

Protein Packed Peanut Butter Cookies

4 Teacher Appreciation Treats _ Bobs Red Mill First up are these delicious peanut butter cookies packed with protein. These cookies are super easy to make and kid-approved. Which means they will be teacher approved too! They contain vanilla protein powder nutritional booster combined with egg, sugar, peanut butter and dark chocolate chips. We even add a pinch of salt to help bring out all the delicious flavors. Not only do these peanut butter cookies taste amazing, but because they are so full of protein, they are filling too and give you lasting energy instead of a crashing sugar rush. They only take about 5 minutes to prep and 13-15 minutes to cook. Did we mention how easy they are to make? You just mix all the ingredients until well combined, then scoop and roll small little balls. Line them up on your cookie sheet and use a fork to press little crisscrosses into the tops and flatten them out. Pop them into the oven and let them cook until they look golden brown. You will want to let these cookies cool before you start handing them out, and make sure when you store them, you use an airtight container so they don't become dry and hard. You might even treat a few teachers if you make a big enough batch!

Coconut Ginger Muffins

These coconut ginger muffins are delicious. There's just something about the flavors of coconut and fresh ginger combined. When you add in dates, bananas and almonds, you have a combination that gives these muffins a sweet, nutty flavor and a whole lot of texture. They start with unbleached white all-purpose flour and baking soda, along with sugar, butter, eggs and full-fat yogurt. Vanilla extract, fresh ginger, bananas and date pieces give these muffins additional flavor, while the unsweetened shredded coconut and almond slices give them texture. You can serve these goodies right out of the oven with a pat of butter or store them in an airtight container and pass them out to the whole classroom. If you arent a fan of dates, you can always substitute another type of dried fruit.

Almond Lavender Biscotti

Everyone loves a good biscotti, and we bet the teacher youre planning to surprise is no exception. These almond lavender biscotti are crisp and substantial--theyre perfect to dip in a steaming cup of Joe, but theyre also delicious on their own. You'll need fresh or dried lavender flowers for this recipe, along with almond flour, baking powder, unbleached white all purpose flour and raw almonds. Almond extract and melted white chocolate chips add flavor and sweetness, which makes these biscotti so tasty. You may even want to make extra to pass around to the hungry kiddos. This recipe requires 20 minutes of prep and 45 minutes to cook and makes about 12 cookies. So, if you do plan on sharing with the class, you'll probably want to double or triple the recipe. Either way, we know you'll be making at least one teacher very happy indeed!

Gluten Free Blondies

Everyone loves a good blondie. Or is that just us? Its what we've heard at any rate. But these blondies are even better than the average blondie because they are gluten free. This makes them perfect for the favorite teacher that has a gluten sensitivity. This recipe starts with gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour and almond flour, along with baking powder, baking soda, sea salt and light brown sugar. White chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips, along with vanilla extract, melted butter and eggs complete the ingredient list. They only take about 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes to cook, but you may want to double or triple the batch if you plan on sharing. Once these cookies are done and you've let them cool, you can cut them up and top them with a homemade caramel sauce. The caramel topping is made from light brown sugar, heavy whipping cream and butter. Thats it! You may want to gift your teacher with the blondies and a separate container of the sauce, since assembling this dessert in the classroom could get messy! Your teacher can also serve these blondies with a scoop of ice cream and a sprinkle of white and dark chocolate chips if he or she is feeling extra festive. Whichever recipe you choose, your kiddos teacher is sure to appreciate the thoughtful gesture and tasty treat. They may even have a new favorite student by the end. Happy baking!
