Paleo Banana Almond Muffin

Well...you know you've neglected your blog and followers when you get a message on your iphone from facebook that says..."What's new with the Gluten Free Connoisseur? Write a post now."  Has it really been over 3 months since I wrote last.  Sooo you want to know what's new FB?  My baby turned One in June and life just got busier as you mom's know.  I will try my best to get back into the blogging groove because I love to share awesome recipes, and this is a keeper!

Continuing to improve on my Paleo (grain free) muffins I believe I hit another jack pot because all three of my boys were eating these ones up!  I have to admit I had to sprinkle a few mini dark chocolate chips on some so that my four and six year old would eat them and they did.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour, sifted
• 1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
• 3 ripe bananas
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup Pear or Apple butter
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon almond
• 1/2 cup walnuts chopped to a course meal in cuisnart
