I realize it’s only my first month of having a kindergartner, so I’m probably not allowed to whine about packing lunches yet, but let’s just say it’s a Hard Job.\u00a0Why don’t we have any bread? Why do we have bread but she doesn’t want a sandwich? Why, one of those times when we didn’t have any bread, did I make noodles with parmesan cheese<\/em>\u00a0(literally: just noodles and parmesan cheese)\u00a0and unwittingly set the\u00a0standard against which all future lunches would be measured and found wanting?<\/em><\/p>\n

So we’ve hemmed and hawed and negotiated about what should go in the lunch box, and I’ve found myself sending combos like cashews, leftover green beans, chips & salsa, and strawberries…which isn’t BAD, it’s just weird as heck. I keep thinking that I need to have a stash of muffins in the freezer, to act as bread substitute, tummy filler, and quasi-treat.<\/p>\n

Thus, these\u00a0whole wheat cinnamon chip muffins were born! And ooh, I like ’em. They’re coffeecake-y, cinnamon-toasty and tender, packed full of cinnamon chips and you make them in ONE BOWL, yes and amen.<\/p>\n

The other day my 3-year-old was asking if she could have “some of those brown nuts” for a snack. After offering her every kind of nut in the pantry I finally figured out she was talking about these cinnamon chips! I like these King Arthur cinnamon chips<\/a>\u00a0– they only have 5 ingredients, no artificial colors, and they contain real cinnamon (compared to more than a dozen ingredients and no actual cinnamon in other brands). They’re on sale currently – I’m going to stock up!<\/p>\n

We keep devouring our whole wheat cinnamon chip muffins\u00a0for breakfast and so I haven’t actually gotten to pack them in anyone’s lunch or freeze them! \u00a0I included amounts for a double batch since that’s what I’m doing next time. (And by next time I mean this weekend.)
