Our favourite snack ideas you knead to know

How great are snacks? Whether it’s a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a late-night treat, snack foods are the hero when you’re a little peckish but not hungry enough for a full meal. A well-timed snack can give you the boost you need, without weighing you down.

Good snacks are those that not only taste amazing, but have a touch of nutrition so you feel great too. They should satisfy your cravings while fueling your body with the energy you need to make it to your next full meal.

Need some inspiration? These are some of our favourite yummy snacks perfect for morning or afternoon tea, or a midnight treat. From wholesome bites to indulgent treats, there’s something for every mood and moment. Let’s dig in!

What is the best snack when you’re hungry?

Snack cravings aren’t all the same. Sometimes you’re after sweet, other times only savoury will do. The best snack depends on what you feel like, and how hungry you are. 

For a sweet tooth, a treat like a Chia & Fruit Loaf Cup, using our filling Chia & Fruit High Tin Loaf with Chia Seeds, and loaded with delicious fruit and yoghurt will always hit the spot. If you’re in the mood for a savoury snack, grilling some cheese and tomato on Hi-Fibre Lo-Gi White Block bread is a satisfying treat that’ll keep you full for ages. Or why not try toasting a slice or two and topping with avocado, tomato and feta, or even just Vegemite or peanut butter for a quick bite on-the-go?

The best snacks according to our Bakers Delight office team

We asked our snack aficionados (AKA our team), “What are some great snack ideas?” to give you even more tried-and-tested snack creations to try out!

Alice, Learning and Organisation Development Partner:

“I love our amazing Turkish Bread… I fill it with fish fingers straight from the oven and add mayo – it’s salty, crunchy and soft all at the same time. Food heaven.”

Tammy, State Property Manager:

“When it comes to snacking, my guilty pleasure is an entire Boston Bun! It has to be cut into triangles, with butter slathered inside and on both sides. Pair that with a cup of English Breakfast tea and a good romantic comedy, and you’ve got my perfect snack setup!”

Henry, Project Manager

“Bakers Delight products are never in my pantry because they’re all eaten before they can get put away. My go-tos are pizzas, especially a Hawaiian with pineapple.”

Kira, e-Learning & Training Facilitator

“I really like toasting a Mocha or Choc Chip Hot Cross Bun and then putting a scoop of ice cream in the middle of the two halves, the ice cream starts to melt and it is delicious.”

Snack recipes you can really get excited about

Having some quick snack recipes up your sleeve makes it simple when the craving for a little bite to eat hits, especially if you have kids. These are some of our favourite easy snacks to make, using real ingredients to keep you fuller for longer.

Mini Cheesymite Scroll Avocado Toast

If you’re looking for more filling, yet easy snacks to make, then our Mini Cheesymite Scroll Avocado Toast is going to become a fast favourite. Load up a toasted Mini Cheesymite Scroll from Bakers Delight with creamy avocado, the perfect poached egg, a little feta and some herbs, and you have a healthy bite that’s also perfect for a quick brunch.

Lunchbox Pizza Toast

Young or old, everyone loves our yummy Lunchbox Pizza Toast. Simply swap out pizza bases for our Hi-Fibre Lo-Gi White Block Loaf and top with tomato paste, shredded cheese, some ham and your other favourite toppings. Pop it under the grill for a few minutes, and you have a delicious savoury snack to fuel you until your next meal.

Ricotta & Blueberry Croffle

Croissants are ideal bases for easy snack recipes, but our Ricotta & Blueberry Croffle takes it to the next level. The secret is placing the croissant in a waffle maker to get super crispy ridges, which create perfect little pockets for our fluffy whipped ricotta, blueberry and honey topping. It’s one of those easy snacks that will impress anyone who gets the delight of having you make it for them.

Loaded Croissant Sandwich

Speaking of croissants, if you’re looking for a savoury option, our Loaded Croissant Sandwich is a tried-and-true favourite. Made on a buttery Bakers Delight Croissant, it’s filled with turkey slices, bacon, cheese, avocado and a fresh salad layer for the perfect balance of salty, savoury, creamy and crunchy.
