Flax Almond Meal Banana Muffins with Dark Chocolate (gluten free, paleo!)
Almond meal banana muffins!!! Yes, we’ll get to the formula, but 1st, hi and how was your weekend?
Within Chicago it was a lovely 60 degrees (in February!). Needless to say, I took complete advantage of the weekend by taking a rest from function and taxes. On Friday night we stayed in, made cookies and watched the new(er) Steve Jobs movie. I full blown LOVED it and thought Michael Fassbender was brilliant. In the event that you haven’t noticed it yet, you must!
Saturday morning arrived early as my kitty Milly wakes me personally up daily around 5am. I did so manage to fall asleep for a few more hours then decided to strike a workout. The fitness studio is about 1.5 miles away, but I usually walk because I can and honestly, I love walking EVERYWHERE. Last night I walked almost 25,000 measures – pretty proud of myself for that one.
On my way to my workout, I appreciated one of these lovely banana muffins. I produced them a few weeks ago and have been tweaking the recipe weekly since. Honestly, I test my dishes about 5 or 6 situations before they finally end up on your blog. What can I state? I’m a perfectionist, particularly when it comes to muffins.
These muffins are MAGICAL. Made with almond food and flaxseed food for incredible nutrition, vitamins and minerals. They’re also normally sweetened with bananas no additional sugar. If you don’t count the dark chocolate, which individually I don’t. The benefits of dark chocolate are pigs feet keto completely underrated; you may already know, I’m quite the advocate of placing it in baked goods and eating it alone being a heart-healthy deal with. It isn’t the chocolate that is the issue, it’s the amount of sugar in the chocolate.
If you’re having these as a breakfast time muffin, you can replace the chocolates with blueberries, or simply keep it out and pass on them with jelly or nut butter. OR just go all in and revel in a little chocolate in the morning because #treatyoself.
I hope you might have the best week. I’ll be back soon with more healthy goodies. xo!

To create vegan: I haven’t tested this, but I assume you could leave out the egg and use 1/3 cup flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup almond milk. Please let me understand in the event that you try it!
If you wish to replace the chocolate chunks with chocolate chips you can. I suggest just a little over 1/3 glass delicious chocolate chips
If you’d like a bit more protein in these muffins, I like adding 1/3 glass of proteins powder. I’ve just examined it with Aloha’s Vanilla Protein Powder.
Feel free to add in walnuts or pecans.

THESE LOOK AMAZING!!!! I produced your coconut flour delicious chocolate chip banana breads 14 days ago and now I am simply looking forward to my bananas to brownish so I could make more!
Do you consider part of the almond meal in this may be subbed out with oat flour?
Last time, We didn’t have enough almond flour (I was a 1/2 cup short). So I used 1/2 cup of coconut flour and added a supplementary egg. OMG!!! They came out amazing!!!!!
