This isn't a perfect paleo recipe, but it is MUCH better than the typical flour and sugar packed recipe! We think it tastes wayy better too! Try it out.3 cups almond meal (you can get this at Trader Joes or grind up some almonds in a coffee grinder)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp Stevia (all natural sweetener - does not effect blood sugar)
1/4 cup coconut oil (high heat oil, not olive oil!)
3 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas
Preheat oven to 350
In one bowl mix almond meal, salt and baking soda.
In smaller bowl mix eggs, oil, vanilla, and stevia. Then mix in diced bananas.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well.
Pour batter into non-stick (or spray with non-stick spray) muffin pans, or loaf pans.
Muffins: Check after 15 min with toothpick, should come out clean (will take a total of about 18-22 min)
*longer for loafs* Time will vary depending on size of muffin pans.
