Paleo Banana Bread Muffins

We all love banana bread but making it low-carb is a challenge. Until I found this recipe. We waiver on the balance of paleo and low-carb with a lot of our meals so realizing the bananas are not necessarily "low-carb" (and neither are the choc chips!), I'm going with the healthier paleo option on this bread :).
I made a batch using both almond and coconut flour and didn't notice much of a difference in flavor, so I say go with what you have. I also added chopped walnuts to a batch. It's a very versatile recipe, which I love. 

Ingredients
  • 4 medium eggs (or 3 large)
  • 2 -1/2 cups mashed bananas (4-5 medium)
  • ½ cup almond butter (peanut butter can also be used)
  • ¼ cup butter (olive oil can also be used)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup coconut flour (almond flour can also be used)
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of sea salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional and not included in nutritional facts)

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line 12 muffin cups with liners; set aside.
  2. Combine eggs, bananas, almond butter, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and pinch of salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until fully combined.
  3. Spoon batter into muffin tins, ¾ full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
