    What Is A Paleo Muffin?

    Have you heard the term paleo before? It's a word used to describe recipes that use whole ingredients that might have been available to people in the paleolithic era (caveman/cavewoman).

    The idea behind paleo recipes is that the closer to whole foods that you can eat, the better it will be for your body. These muffins are made with high-fiber whole foods that will nourish your body with essential vitamins and nutrients.

    There is so much to love about these paleo muffins! They are a nutritious and easy way to start your day. The fiber from the bananas and protein from the almond butter will fuel your body all day long.

    These muffins are both grain-free and gluten-free. They are also dairy-free and are made without peanuts. They are the perfect thing to make for almost any food sensitivity. As you keep eating healthy, how about making paleo chicken nuggets next? They are super tasty and filling.

    How to Make this Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe 

    This recipe makes about a dozen muffins, depending on the size of the bananas you use. It takes 5 minutes to prep everything and 15 minutes for them to bake.

    Ingredients

    All the exact measurements are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post. First, here is what you'll need from the store.

    • Almond butter 
    • Ripe bananas, mashed 
    • Large eggs

    Directions 

    If you're a visual learner, here are some step-by-step pictures showing you how to make these easy and healthy breakfast muffins.

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place baking cup liners in muffin or cupcake pan, or lightly grease the pan cups.    

    Place all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a large bowl and mix well to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips. 

    Banana muffin batter

    Spoon batter into cups of prepared pan until each cup is about ⅔ full and sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for a little bit of chocolate, and of course - for the presentation!

    Can you use peanut butter?

    I would stick with a runnier nut butter (like almond butter). I substituted peanut butter previously and it wasn’t as moist as the original recipe.
