Bake Banana Walnut and Coconut Muffins

This past Sunday I went to a friends house for the Super Bowl (code for: eat lots of snacks). On the table there was a bowl of guacamole, spinach and artichoke dip, salsa, a taco buffet, pulled pork slidersand banana paleo muffins. It was a weird addition but my friend had made them the day before and figured shed put them out in case someone wanted to eat something a bit healthier. I sort of scoffed but eventually tried one because Im always curious about baked goods. And you guys, they were delicious!

They tasted exactly like a good moist banana bread. I decided to recreate them here, sharing her adapted recipe. The flour holding them together is coconut flour, while the primary source of fat is from coconut oil. The sweetness derives from very ripe bananas (use the ugly ones!), while the cinnamon and walnuts add nice familiar breakfast flavors.

This is the thing to make at the beginning of the week and then snack on throughout the week. I cant think of a better way to start the day than with a healthy muffin, a cup of coffee and a walk.
