Paleo Banana Nut Muffins

First I must apologize for taking a bit of time off....no excuses, right?  So to make up for lost time, I am going to give you the BEST muffin recipe on the planet!  It makes the house smell warm and fuzzy and delights the sweet tooth in us all!  I found this on Pinterest along with other recipes I plan to try this week!

Paleo Banana Nut Muffins

1.5 cups almond flour

2 T ground flaxseed

1 t ground cinnamon

1/2 t baking soda

12 t baking powder

Pinch of nutmeg

Pinch of salt

2 VERY ripe bananas, mashed

2 eggs

1 T honey

1 T EVOO

1/2 t vanilla extract

1/3 cup chopped pecans, with a little extra to top

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Place muffin cups in muffin tin and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, excluding the pecans.

In a medium bowl, combine all the wet ingredients.

In the dry ingredient bowl, make a well in the middle of the mix and slowly pour the wet ingredients in.  Stir slightly, then add pecans. Stir well.

Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full and sprinkle a few chopped pecans on the top. 

Bake for 21-23 minutes or insert a toothpick in the middle and if it comes out clean, they are done!

Let cool about 5-10 minutes.  Enjoy!

Side note:

I cook about 2 dozen and place them in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator so they stay fresh for about a week.  Josh and I love these in the morning.  Just pop them in the microwave for 25 seconds and serve with your protein (eggs/bacon/etc.). 

A great way to enjoy a Southern flavor in the morning!

HAPPY PALEO COOKING!!!!
