These Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins are easy to make, naturally sweetened, and so delicious! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
I had some bananas that were super brown and I knew I better make something quick. I threw some ingredients in a bowl and hoped they would turn out- they totally did!! These muffins were born and they are super moist, dense, chocolatey, and just the right sweetness.
I love using bananas as a sweetener and nothing else, but if you want to add some chocolate chips that would be super delicious! They are already full of chocolatey goodness, but more can't hurt.
Another thing I love: one bowl recipes! Everything is mixed in one big bowl, no measuring the dry separately or anything. It's mixed completely by hand so no dirtying the mixer. It's a pretty awesome recipe!
This makes 12 muffins, but some are kind of small. You can make 10 or 11 bigger ones if you want.
You will love how simple these paleo chocolate banana muffins are! Make a batch to enjoy for breakfast all week- if they last that long!

Did you refrigerate these right after baking, or did you leave them out a day or 2 before refrigerating ? Thanks !
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Terissa- you can leave them out for a day, but they stay best in the fridge. Hope you enjoy!
Andrea says
Really moist and tasty! I usually try to modify recipes to add my own touch (chocolate chips, fruit, etc.), but these really don't need anything.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Andrea! I'm so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Laura says
Is the recipe supposed to have baking powder or baking soda. I haven't seen a paleo recipe with baking powder before. Thanks.
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Laura- I use baking powder. I use Trader Joes brand that does have a little cornstarch in it. I know it's non GMO and just a small amount so I'm ok with it. If you have a sensitivity you can google how to make your own paleo version.
