Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
What does Paleo Mean? As defined by Webster, Paleo means older or ancient, especially relating to the geological past. The Paleo diet is based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans. The diet consists of foods that can be hunted or fished like meat, organ meat and seafood and foods that can be gathered like eggs, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices.
Looking for a morning muffin or afternoon snack? This Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin not only tastes great but your body will appreciate the ingredients! We have made this recipe with peanut butter and almond 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.
