Amazing Paleo Banana Muffins

YUM! It has been a really long (like 11 years LONG!) time since I have found a gluten free muffin recipe that doesn't resemble a hockey puck in taste or texture. Sure gluten free products have come a long way, but still most muffins are dense and sit like rocks in my stomach. BUT NOT THESE! They are made of nut butter, bananas and dates for sweetener, plus they come out soft, pliable and UBER delicious! They are also a great balance of protein, fat and carbs (from the dates and bananas) and serve as an awesome quick breakfast! Full website recipe here.
