Paleo Banana Bread Muffins

(Seriously, most bread like recipe I've discovered!)

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas

4 tablespoons ghee (or coconut oil), melted

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 1/4 cups almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup arrowroot starch

2 tablespoons flax meal

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

**Add up to 1 cup of any delicious nut, dried fruit or paleo friendly chocolate chips**

Preheat the oven to 350º. 

Line a 12 muffin pan with paper baking cups or parchment paper. 

In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a potato masher. 

Whisk the butter/coconut oil in with the mashed eggs.  Allowing the melted butter/coconut oil to cool slightly before adding eggs.

Whisk in eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup.  Combine very well. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients, except the nuts/dried fruit/chocolate chips.   Mix very well and remove any lumps.

Stir 1/4 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula.

Once well combined stir in another 1/4, and so on, until all the dry mixture is well blended into the wet mixture.

Stir in your 1 cup nut/dried fruit/chocolate chips of choice.

Spoon the batter into the baking cups.

Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  

This batch I made 1/2 without adding any nuts/dried fruit/chocolate and 1/2 adding raisins and walnuts.  I added 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup walnuts. It was only half the batter, so I only needed 1/2 cup total extra yummy stuff.

Happy Eating!!!
