These Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins have quickly become a crowd pleasing favorite in our family!

I’ve never been that drawn to anything banana related. I mean it’s ok… but give me chocolate, caramel, or both any day over banana! But I have to say these banana muffins have changed my tune.

I don’t even think I would have even developed this recipe if it wasn’t for repeated requests. After all when I think about muffins, my mind almost always goes straight for these Blueberry Muffins.

So with all the requests, and the fact that Tyler really like banana muffins, I got to work. Imagine my surprise when I bit into my first butter slathered bite, and my eyes rolled up in absolute delight.

Of course 1 muffins turned into 2, and I was hooked! To be fair these banana muffins have mini chocolate chips in them. So maybe that explains my now ‘obsession’ with them.

The other thing that I love about these muffins is they freeze well. And since I first tested them 2 months ago, I’ve been keeping a batch ready to go at all times. It would seem that having ready made muffins around is more handy than I would have thought.

Just last weekend, we had company on an extra busy weekend. So when Saturday morning came, I just reheated these muffins in the oven, and made some sausages and scrambled eggs. It looked like an impressive breakfast, but it couldn’t have been easier.

How to make these Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins:

1. You start by blending the wet ingredients together with the bananas. You can also mash them by hand, but if you have a blender, it’s much quicker.
2. Then the wet ingredients are mixed together with the dry ingredients and the chocolate chips.
3. Next the batter is portioned evenly into muffin cup liners, or a very well greased pan.
4. Finally they’re baked until puffy and just done.
5. From there, I love them warm out of the oven with a good amount of butter. But you can also cool them to room temperature and freeze them for a later date.

3 Easy Banana Muffin Variations:

1. Omit the chocolate chips for a classic banana muffin.
2. Add 1/2 cup fresh blueberries in place of the chocolate chips for banana berry.
3. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts and pecans are my favorite with banana muffins) for banana nut. You can omit the chocolate chips or keep them in, either way is great!
