 You won’t believe how good these Paleo chocolate banana muffins taste and they’re healthy enough to eat for breakfast!!  They’re made with coconut flour, almond flour and sweetened with pure maple syrup for a grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free muffin recipe.

These Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins are soooooo good that I will definitely be adding this recipe to the “Recipes-to-make-in-the-future-to-be-the-super-cool-mom-in-the-class” folder.  Totally not kidding.

While kids are not quite in our near-to-far future, Cohl and I have already concocted our scheme.

Cohl absolutely loves to adventure outside.  Whether that is canoeing down the river, running in the park, climbing trees, riding his bike around town, or taking us camping… that man loves to explore!

Part 1 of our scheme is to lure all of our future kids and their friends to our house with exciting outdoor adventures, led by none other than my hubby.

Part 2 of our grand idea is to always have delicious (and healthy!) food and snacks available for the kiddos to enjoy after their ridiculously awesome escapade.  (–> Like these Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins!!)

Not quite sure how our master plan will pan out, but our ultimate goal is for the Brazil house to be the most fun house in the class.  We’ll see how that goes in 10 years!

For now, I at least have the satisfaction of know that all of our friends absolutely LOVED these paleo chocolate banana muffins.

They had NO idea that they were actually grain-free, butter-free and good for you!

I would have to say, Mission Accomplished.

One of my favorite things to do is to make food that tastes great but is secretly healthy for you.  These Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins are exactly that!

How Can You Evolve these Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins?

These healthy muffins are already grain-free, gluten-free, Paleo, dairy-free, and vegetarian, but there are a few things you can do to make them slightly healthier!

  • Use cacao nibs, not mini chocolate chips, for a completely refined sugar-free muffin.
  • Add pecans or walnuts for added fiber and omega-3s.
  • Substitute flax eggs for the regular eggs to make these muffins vegan.

    If I wanted to turn this into a loaf…how long would I cook it?

      Hi Jessica! I have not personally tried this recipe in a loaf pan, but another recipe on the site (Paleo Banana Bread) is baked at 350 for 45-55 minutes. They each have similar ingredients so they should be about the same! Please let me know how it turns out for you 🙂

    I made these last night for my daughters bday!!! They were amazing! I cut the maple syrup to 1/4 cup and put a little stevia to compensate. I used large chocolate chips. I made donuts with some of the batter and muffins with the remaining. The muffins being higher were hands down the best. They were more gooey… pudding like muffins … like lava cakes almost while the donuts were cakier. I loved the gooiness of the cupcakes! I sprinkled them with confectioners sugar.
    I will definitely make these again for guests!

    Can the flour be substituted? I generally dont keep those flours on hand.

      Hi Amanda! I have not personally experimented with different flours in this recipe, but would love to know if you try any others out! If you have trouble finding the flours in your local grocery store, I like to order mine from Amazon or Thrive market!

    Would it work to make these egg free by substituting flaxmeal and water? My son is allergic to eggs.

      Hi! Most muffin recipes you can easily substitute a flax egg for a regular egg. I personally have not tried it in this particular recipe, but have in other muffin recipes and it works great! For flax eggs I normally do 2.5 Tablespoons water: 1 Tablespoon ground flax meal. Let me know how they turn out if you try it!

    I made these and my family loves them!
    The nutrition facts are for all 12 muffins?
    Or is that 245 calories per muffin? The serving size was a little confusing to me.

      So happy they loved them! The nutrition facts are for 1 muffin. They are pretty calorically dense due to the almond and coconut flours! Thanks for the comment and question!

    These are a major hit at my house!
    My family is nut free and not strictly paleo, so I subbed the almond flour with Sorghum flour and they turned out perfectly. The texture is one of the best I’ve had with paleo/gf muffins, and everyone in my house agrees! Thanks!
