🎒 5 Easy Sourdough Snacks for Back-to-School


The Sourdough Slice

Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning.

Hey Reader,

Can you believe we’re already well into August? Summer is flying by! 😮☀️

I’ve always loved this time of year—the slower pace, the cooler mornings, and that back-to-school energy that still makes me want to start fresh on projects or dive into new recipe ideas. ✏️📚

And speaking of back-to-school… if you like making homemade snacks to send off with your kiddos (or just need something fun to stash in your own lunchbox), you’ll love the recipes I’m sharing today.

These 5 sourdough snacks are all made with discard and are picky-eater approved. 👍

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 😊

P.S. If you’ve been loving my sourdough recipes, I’d be so grateful if you pinned a few to your recipe board on ​Pinterest​. It helps more people find them - and start their own sourdough adventures too! 💛


Sourdough Granola Bars

A chewy, grab-and-go snack that’s perfect for lunchboxes or busy mornings.

Sourdough Cheez-Its

A crunchy, cheesy snack that beats anything from a box.

Morning Glory Sourdough Muffins

Packed with fruit, veggies, and whole grains—these make a wholesome start to any school day.

Sourdough Granola

Sprinkle it over yogurt or pack it as a snack.

Sourdough Banana Bread

A classic, cozy treat that doubles as an easy breakfast or sweet snack.


To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

  • Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
  • Aluminum Muffin Pan - Great for evenly baked muffins with golden brown tops.
  • Aluminum Loaf Pan - Bakes quick breads to perfection every time.
  • Paper Liners - Makes cleanup easier and gives a more bakery-style look.
