Paleo Banana Bread Muffins

I make this simple recipe for paleo banana bread from the Civilized Caveman at least twice a month with my daughter. It makes an easy breakfast on days when I’m running out the door. It’s high in protein and healthy fats, and very low in sugar. I use ripe bananas to add some flavor. If you’re accustomed to a lot of sugar, you might perceive these as bland. Recalibrate your ‘buds and you’ll enjoy them.

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup almond or cashew butter
• 4 Tb grass fed butter or coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup coconut or almond flour, sifted
• 1 Tb ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• pinch of sea salt

Process:

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine bananas, eggs, nut butter and butter. Mix well with a hand held blender. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla and salt. Combine well. Line a muffin tin and fill each about 3/4 full with the mixture.  Cook for 30-35 minutes.
