Have you ever thought of taking your favorite sponge cake recipe and just play with it a little. My kids will never ask me for a piece of cake(too much trouble to eat, I guess), but if I make the same recipe, just in muffin shape, they absolutely love it.
So this time, I used my tried and tested Sponge Cake recipe and added three mashed bananas to the batter. Just for fun, I inserted a dark chocolate button inside every muffin. When it bakes, the chocolate melts slightly and adds a nice touch to an already delicious muffin.
The recipe can easily be halved.

Cute cakes Nina!
Those look so pretty on the outside, and the inside surprise of chocolate would delight adults as well as children.
I really like the previous post of Croque Monsieur, too. My son would enjoy the version with the fried egg!
what a wonderful sounding recipe. i agree with your kids cupcake sized is so much easier to eat than a cake
What a great idea...I have to admit a little surprise inside of an already yummy dessert...heaven.
I always hate it when my muffins turn out squatty - but yours look so cute I'm going to start embracing short muffins.
