By Sam Wood

Prep time: 30 minutes | Cook time: 25 Minutes | Serves: 35

Muffin Ingredients

  • 2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup Mayver’s smooth peanut butter
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 100g butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk
  • 100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped into small chunks

Icing Ingredients

  • 2 cans coconut cream, chilled in the fridge overnight
  • 1-2 tsp stevia, adjusted to your liking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 20 mini dark chocolate chips

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C, on a fan forced setting.
  2. Grease 10 holes of a muffin tray and set aside.
  3. Combine the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a bowl.
  4. Next, add the peanut butter, eggs, melted butter and coconut milk to the bowl and stir well to combine.
  5. Stir through the chocolate chips and divide the muffin mixture amongst the muffin tray.
  6. Place the muffins in the oven to cook for 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out dry.
  7. After this time, remove the muffins from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer the muffins to a cooling rack.
  9. Remove the coconut cream from the fridge. Do not shake or mix the can. Scoop out all of the solid coconut cream and place it in a bowl. Avoid the liquid, leaving that in the can.
  10. Add the stevia and vanilla to the bowl and use a hand mixer to whip the cream, until creamy and smooth.
  11. Place the coconut cream icing in a piping bag with a round attachment. Pipe the mixture onto each muffin.
  12. Once the muffins have been iced, make the eyes by adding 2 mini chocolate chips to each.

No Food Shaming.

If you grew up in the ‘80s, ‘90s, or early 2000’s, chances are you were taught to see food through a moral lens: veggies were “good,” chocolate was “bad,” and fat was something to fear. That messaging stuck.

So now, when you reach for a bag of chips after a long day or say yes to dessert, a quiet voice in the back of your mind is likely to whisper: “You shouldn’t.” You feel like you’ve done something wrong – simply for eating something you enjoy. And here’s the thing: our kids are watching. They’re listening. The way we talk about food becomes the way they relate to it.

If you want to raise confident eaters, it’s time to let go of the “good” vs “bad” food narrative and allow your kids to enjoy food without guilt or shame. Let’s be real; some foods are more nutrient-dense than others. But that doesn’t mean that we need to rank them on a scale. Instead of calling food “good” or “bad”, try talking about how it fits into the bigger picture of what our bodies need. 

Read on for a few ways to reframe the conversation:

The Myth of the Perfect Parent
Somewhere along the way, we’ve been sold this idea that good parenting means never messing up. That if we just try hard enough, read the right books, and avoid raising our voices, we’ll somehow unlock the secret to raising perfectly adjusted children. But here’s the truth which I finally accepted: there is no perfect way to parent. There are only good days and bad days. There are moments when you handle things beautifully and moments when you yell something ridiculous like, “WHY ARE YOUR SHOES IN THE FRIDGE?” There are times when you feel like a hero and times when you feel like a complete failure. And that’s okay.

Nothing quite prepares you, as a parent, for the moment your child stops being able to hold it all together. The sudden collapse of the smile, the spark, the motivation. The moment when their pain no longer hides behind school routines and friendships, and instead spills into the home in the most heartbreaking of ways. And yet, stories like these are quietly unfolding in homes and schools everywhere.
