Muffin Faced Magic

Last Nights bedtime snack

I find it incredible how kids will eat whatever you will give them if you can somehow (and this much be really quick and easy) turn it into a face/monster/animal/whatever or add chocolate (Nutella). My 3 year old would not eat these muffins for breakfast "I don't like these" but for our evening snack she gobbled them up. These were a wholewheat/low sugar pumpkin muffin cut in half and spread with barely a whisper of Nutella. Served with banana's and strawberries. Okay - here's the recipe...........its not wheat-free and I probably won't be eating these anymore but they are REALLY good and I will probably keep making them once in a while for the kids.
