If your kids are like mine and fussy about cereals I find these are a good alternative (and are almost fat free which is an added bonus).
Ingredients:
2 Beaten Eggs
3 Mashed (ripe) bananas
2 cups (220g) of self raising flour
3/4 cup (85g) of sugar (I used demerera)
1 tsp baking soda
Chopped walnuts (optional)
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine eggs and bananas.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar and baking soda.
Fold flour mixture into banana mixture
Fold in chopped walnuts if desired.
Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes (oven on usual setting, I can't help with this as mine is a psycho and burns everything and so I have to have it on really low).
