Teacher appreciation week continues in our house (along with a preschooler who is snack leader), so that led me to come up with a healthy baked good that will serve two purposes. One as a lovely mid-morning treat for the elementary teachers and two a snack that won’t send a class of 3 & 4 year old preschoolers into a sugar frenzy! These gingerbread bars get two tasks done in one easy recipe!

Thanks to the insistence of a rascally 4 year old in my kitchen...I made the preschool snack portion of the bread fun for his classmates by adding a few animal sprinkles while the glaze was wet.
