Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins

May 7, 2018 by Jessica Leave a Comment

These Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Muffins are your go-to for the next time you have spotty bananas on the counter. Warm notes of cinnamon, chocolate chips and slightly sweet banana flavors come together in one little package. You’ll be eating one right out of the pan!

Oh man, you guys. These muffins.

I wish I could shorten the name for you, I really do. But then I would have to decide which ingredient is least important. And that’s too difficult.

So the way-too-long name stays.

This recipe is going up a little later than usual- we spent the weekend down in Houston for my sister-in-law’s wedding and had so much fun. Everything was beautiful and it brought back so many memories of our wedding day two years ago (!)

Time with family is truly the best. I’ll be spending time with my parents this weekend for Mother’s Day and to celebrate my cousin’s graduation from Texas A&M (Whoop!)

Now I just have to see if these muffins will last until then to take to her!

What You’ll Need

You know the drill- all recipes on ASL are ten ingredients or less. Ain’t nobody got time for complicated recipes. This one’s no different-

Wet Ingredients

  • Ripe bananas
  • Almond butter (drippy is best!)
  • Eggs
  • Maple Syrup
  • Vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • Almond flour
  • Baking powder
  • Cinnamon
  • Dark chocolate chips of choice

Kitchen tools

  • Standard non-stick muffin pan
  • Coconut oil spray
  • *optional: these silicone muffin pan liners make life SO much easier. I recommend them to everyone!
