I don't believe there is any easy way to do this.. Meteor compiles all your templates during the build process and there is some pretty intense manipulation going on behind the scenes. A simple template is pretty easy to create like this.

Meteor._def_template("Hello",Handlebars.json_ast_to_func(["<div>Hello World!</div>"]));

Once you start adding the handlebars variables and block helpers it seems to get pretty complicated.

If you want to research it more you can dive into the .meteor directory of your project and explore. Templates should be located somewhere under ./meteor/local/build/static_cacheable depending on how you set up your folder structure for your project. Each template file is in the form template. templateName .js
