Paleo Banana Walnut Chocolate Muffins

2/19/12

So today I've lived in my kitchen...technically the truth since I live in a hotel and it's one big room, hard not to live in the kitchen with these accommodations. I digress. I whipped up a batch of Paleo Banana Walnut Chocolate Muffins. Given the chance to re-do this recipe I would probably reduce the amount of walnuts, and add another banana, they are really dense and I think another banana would help that.

Paleo Banana Walnut Chocolate Muffins:

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups almond flour
• 2 ripe bananas (I suggest adding a third)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 TBSP cinnamon
• 4 TBSP coconut oil
• 3 eggs
• 1-2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (I would use less)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a large bowl mash bananas with a fork
• add eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla, mix
• whisk to get rid of any large chunks
• In a smaller bowl combine the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking soda, and cinnamon)
• Slowly stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully mixed.
• mix in Walnuts
• stir in chocolate chips
• drop spoonfulls into lined muffin pan
• Bake for approx. 15 mins (this was a good time for the mini muffins, the large ones needed another 5 minutes)
• Enjoy!
