Healthy Sinterklaas snacks: these 6 you'll want to try
Secretly, I can look forward to it every year: Sinterklaas evening. And okay, I admit it – I haven't celebrated Sinterklaas in the “adult” way for years, but it remains one of my favorite holidays. Especially now that my sister has a little one. His face during the arrival? Priceless. That horse, that music, and especially ‘Klaas’ himself… he was completely captivated. So yes, this year we are going all out: games, presents, way too loud Sinterklaas hits, and of course – the most important category – snacks. Because let's be honest: Sinterklaas without snacks simply doesn't exist. Do you also want a table full of delicious Sinterklaas treats, WITHOUT rolling into January afterwards? Then pay attention, because with these healthy snacks, you'll get through the festive evening like a true Sinterklaas snack queen.

1. Apple hat
This is such a snack that looks super on your Sinterklaas platter. You often have apple on a charcuterie board, right? So this snack is not weird at all. Cut a red apple into four wedges and cut these wedges into two hats. Score a cross in the skin with a knife and carefully remove it. Briefly place them in a bowl of cold water and lemon juice and voilà: you have mini hats that you and your little one can munch on.
2. Pumpkin-carrot muffins
Instead of giving the carrots to Ozosnel (rip Amerigo), you put them in these muffins. Carrot cake is so delicious, so these muffins really deserve a spot on your table. How do you make these? Well, that's quite simple:
You start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees. Grab muffin cups (preferably red) and place them in a muffin tin. In a bowl, mix 180 grams of buckwheat flour, 60 grams of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, two teaspoons of baking soda, and 3 teaspoons of pumpkin spice. In another bowl, mix 150 grams of pumpkin puree, 60 grams of grated carrots, 1 ripe banana, 75 grams of sugar-free applesauce, 60 grams of coconut blossom sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 80 ml of milk, and 50 grams of nut butter. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry. Divide this well-mixed batter among the muffin cups and sprinkle some grated carrot on top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and let them cool before eating them.
3. Spiced nuts
Okay, listen. Are you going to eat a whole bag of spiced nuts? That's not really good for your fitness progress, but a small bowl can't hurt. Believe me. There are hardly any calories in them and in 100 grams, there are only 31 grams of sugar – so that's not too bad. I'm of course talking about the au naturel spiced nuts, right? Not those with chocolate or other flavors.

4. Spiced nut cake
A cake can always go down well with me, but usually those things are packed with sugar. Especially when you buy them in the store. Do you still want to eat a delicious spiced nut cake? Then you can just make it yourself. You really don't need to be a spiced nut scientist for that:
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. First, blend 200 grams of oatmeal into flour. Then it gets simple: just mix everything together in a bowl. Mix the oat flour with 40 grams of almond flour, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 100 grams of low-fat quark, 300 grams of (zero) applesauce, 20 ml of milk, 2 teaspoons of speculaas spices, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of baking soda. Once it has a batter-like texture, chop 80 grams of spiced nuts finely and fold them into the batter. Pour it into a cake tin and bake for 40 minutes in the oven.
5. Mandarins
It can't get simpler, but mandarins are really a Sinterklaas snack. You can place these among the baked goods on your Sinterklaas platter. Peel them and place them in wedges among the other snacks or get creative and make a chutney as a dip for your cheese cubes. Some fruit is never wrong and those mandarins are in season now. So you won't get them any tastier.

6. Spiced Nut Tiramisu
Yes. Seriously. Spiced nut tiramisu. That sounds too good to be healthy, right? I get it, but this one is very tasty and healthy to eat due to strategic ingredients. Don't eat a whole baking dish, but a small bowl certainly won't hurt. Always better than a whole chocolate letter.
In a bowl, mix 300 grams of vanilla skyr, 100 grams of light dairy spread, and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth. Brew an espresso and let it cool. Then dip the spiced nuts in the espresso – this will replace the ladyfingers. Place these at the bottom of your dish or nice glass. Then spread the quark mixture on top of the spiced nuts. Add a new layer of espresso-spiced nuts and top it off with the topping. Do this until you can no longer fill the glass. For the finishing touch, sprinkle with some cocoa powder, almond flakes, and grated spiced nuts. For extra firmness, you can place it in the fridge until you serve it.
Are you going to try these recipes? If there's something I've gotten a craving for, it's that tiramisu. Really, oh my god. Even if you don't want to eat healthy, these snacks are definitely worth trying. And even better: it's better for your kids. This way, they can just enjoy without you having to worry that they won't be able to sleep because of all the sugar. No thanks necessary.
