If you are Looking for the best Paleo banana muffins, you have found them.

The chocolate chips are optional, but we really enjoy the banana/ chocolate flavor combination.

This is an especially good recipe for those with nut allergies seeking an alternative to almond flour versions so frequently found in Paleo and gluten-free cookbooks.

We have to be careful with all baked goods, even gluten-free versions, because of my daughter’s anaphylactic peanut allergy. We do most of our own baking, and I am always on the lookout for quick, tasty, healthy alternatives to our old favorites. This recipe for Paleo banana chocolate chip muffins is a perfect example.

These Paleo banana chocolate chip muffins are the result of trial and error and a combination of several recipes we tried.

Recipe Notes

These freeze beautifully! We take them out as needed and heat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. They taste fresh-baked.

We eat these paleo banana chocolate chip muffins most often as an afternoon snack.

We freeze the whole batch each time and take them out as we need them, adding to the lunchbox frozen, knowing it will thaw in time for snack time at aftercare, or tossing in the microwave for a few seconds when we’d like a warm one on the spot.

These tasty little morsels have become a favorite among family and friends. Anyone I have shared this recipe with loves it. My dad, who does not tolerate baked goods well (causes blood sugar imbalance) eats these almost daily with no issues.

Let me know if these Paleo Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins become a favorite with your family as well.

I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory of course) which includes baking a bunch of chicken breasts, steaming several heads of broccoli, and making a pot of brown rice.

Every two weeks I’ll make clean muffins or bread for breakfast to shake things up a bit. I usually have a protein shake or a few scrambled egg whites and a banana or a piece of Ezekiel 7 sprouted grain bread (gluten free) as toast for breakfast, but sometimes I crave a baked good. 

When I have a muffin (or two) or slice of bread, I add a couple of scrambled egg whites on the side to make sure I have enough protein. 

➡️I’ll link to the recipes for these banana chocolate ship muffins and banana apple bread in my stories. 

Do you meal prep on Sundays as well?

My rosacea is even behaving. 🤣

I did go back to an anti-inflammatory diet after indulging in all the things over the holidays, so it makes sense that I am feeling better. Feeling optimistic anyway. 

🎉I don’t want to jinx it, but what a great way to ring in 2022!

❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and ❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and friends in Cooperstown, NY (and a record snowfall outside), I married my best friend and soulmate. 

I love reflecting on that day and the many beautiful memories we’ve made since then.

Our photographer was the photographer from the National Baseball of Fame and he used several antique cameras to capture our special day.

Scroll through to see some of my favorite decor over here, like our trees selected specifically to highlight our collection of @crosbyandtaylor ornaments, our Christmas card board for all of our cards over the years on top and those we’ve received from others this year below, and a little something worth celebrating: our first homemade cannoli. Thank you, @preppykitchen for the guidance. We had fun with it. 

It has been a very hard week, which I will share more about later, but we tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kiddo. 

🕊Peace be you.
