Almond Flour Banana Chocolate Muffins

Soft and moist, like a good brownie, naturally sweetened with maple syrup and ripe bananas, these almond flour chocolate banana muffins are a healthy gluten free chocolate treat.

I first made these muffins as a healthful treat for a young friend who, the year she turned 18, was diagnosed with both Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. Loaded with crunchy toasted almonds, these muffins have 7 grams of protein, 10 grams sugar and 20 grams carbohydrates, less sweet than your average muffin, yet damn delicious!
