My 9 year old is on a baking/cooking thing (and I am NOT about to discourage her). She keeps us stocked up in muffins. she adds fruit of all kinds to them..Apple muffins, strawberry mufins, grape muffins (new one to me, but they were good!)..she is also into making upcakes. She cools them completley, then freezes them all together in a large ziplock 2 gallon bag. Every morning I grab out 1 for each lunchbox and put it into a smaller ziploc bag. We do not ice our cupcakes--infact, I don't think my daughters know they are supposed to be iced! we don't ice our cakes either, but sometimes sprinkle lightly with cinammon & sugar or splenda & sugar.
another thing they like for morning snack at school is a hardboiled egg, or peice of fruit.
