PALEO Chocolate banana protein muffins


So I FINALLY had a successful Paleo baking recipe. After much trial and error- I'm talking grainy-textured cupcakes, lumpy cakes, and cardboard-tasting cookies- I finally made a Paleo recipe that tasted GOOD. Paleo baking is really hard without flour, milk, or butter- the usual ingredients that are involved when it comes to baking something yummy. So if you miss baking, or want a post-workout snack or breakfast, try this! So yummy, and it's a treat you can enjoy without guilt :)

You will need:
Muffins:
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 large ripe bananas
Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temp (not melted)
  • 1/2 cup roasted and unsalted almond butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Prep:
  1. Preheat oven to 350  and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners
  2. Place the coconut oil, eggs, honey, and vanilla in a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth
  3. In a separate bowl stir together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt, then pour in with the wet ingredients and beat again 
  4. In another bowl mash the bananas together with the protein powder and water until a mush is formed, combine with the other ingredients and beat on medium until well combined
  5. Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes. Insert a toothpick or fork into muffins- when it comes out clean, they are ready to remove from the oven.
  6. Prepare the frosting by combining all ingredients in a blender and blending until smooth. If the frosting is a little runny just place it in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up.
  7. Once the muffins have cooled completely you can frost them.
Enjoy with a glass of almond milk! Yummmmmy :)
