Egg Free Kinder Snacks

February 9, 2012
I am very thankful that neither of my boys have a food allergy or intolerance.
Punky started 4 year old kinder this week and my Mothers Group has just introduced an egg and nut free rule for the snacks we bring along each week. I have to say – it is tricky to find a baking recipe that is egg free. Obviously, this is a very minor thing in comparison to the worry a mum of a child with a severe food allergy must feel daily.
I decided to write this post together to help my mother’s group members find inspiration for our weekly get together and also to help me get some inspiration for some new recipes that are allergy sensitive and that keep Punky and his friends happy. I am happy to take this opportunity to test and learn some new tasty recipes and become more aware of food allergies that some families deal with on a daily basis.
I attempted to search for egg free baking recipes on a number of well known recipe sites but the results were either incorrectly including eggs or only produced a very small number of recipes.
Colleen from No Eggs No Nuts has kindly allowed me to publish a couple of her recipes to help get you started.
I gave the Bread recipe below a try this week and Punky loved it. They taste a little like bread and a little like a scone. I added tomato and zucchini to the batch I made.
See Hints and Tips below for measurements if you are adding other ingredients as I have done
No Eggs, No Nuts Please E-Book. Colleen is a mum of five children. Two of her children have been diagnosed with severe life threatening egg and peanut allergies. She developed a fabulous e-book that contains 155 recipes that are egg and nut free. All the recipes have been trialled and tested. They are wholesome and free from additives.

We were egg and nut free for a while with my youngest – as well as soy free, wheat free and dairy free.
It does present a challenge – especially the soy and dairy free as most dairy alternatives are soy based.
I’ve made piklets with no nuts and no eggs, simply made the regular batter up, omitting eggs altogether. They held together well during cooking and we spread them with jam.
They sounds great Marita and a recipe that would work for a kinder snack also. I think I will try them with berries added – yum!
We are egg free for my little girl at the moment and it is tricky. We are also dairy free which is tricky. Thanks for these recipes and resources, they will come in handy I’m sure – I might try some and substitute the milk for rice milk. I will ask the dietician if there is anything I can use instead of yoghurt. Bookmarking this post for sure. Perfect timing thanks Kyrstie 🙂
Thanks for visiting. I am glad you have found it helpful. We use soy based yoghurt and milk for me but I understand that soy is also an issue for many people also…I does make for a challenge!
a friend of mine has a son with an egg allergy, I will pass these along! It is so hard finding things that are egg-free but also taste good! thanks for sharing, and yes, I too am thankful my son has no (known) allergies!
Thanks Aroha, I really appreciate you passing on the information. Kyrstie
What a great resource post Kyrstie. Off to share this on my facebook page, I know many of my readers have kid with allergies.
Thanks Nicole, I really appreciate you sharing on your fabulous page.
Great idea to have some allergy friendly recipes handy, even if your kids don’t suffer. Our Kindergarten is nut-free so we keep the nearby park nut-free too as all the kids play and snack there. We eat a lot of nuts so I need some new snack ideas. Thanks!
Thanks Laney, I hope you find some new recipes.
Oh allergies are awful things. We have dairy intolerance in our house and that’s hard enough, I’m grateful it’s nothing worse!
Hi Jess, I have a dairy intolerance but find it is mostly not too difficult to manage. I would be keen to hear of any good dairy free resources you access. Kyrstie
Great idea, I used to struggle at occasional care with some egg and nut free recipes. I think my 3 year old might even eat these 🙂
Excellent Mrs Savage, thanks for visiting.
Gosh, I didn’t realise just how allergic some children are. I am very grateful that my daughter has no allergies.
Have a great Thursday !

Thanks Linda, you too.
What a fabulous idea Kyrstie!
We are very lucky with no allergies to worry about ourselves, but ER have a number of friends we need to be careful around.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Kate. Thank you for hosting the link up and allowing me the opportunity to share. K
As a parent of children with food intolerances and one child with two distinct allergies to foods, it’s a challenge to find suitable recipes that work for the lowest common denominator!
I look forward to checking out the links you’ve posted today,
Thank YOU!
I am happy to provide some information Ceejay. It is always nice to try some new recipes, the standard ones can get a bit boring after a while – especially if you are limited by ingredients. Good luck.
