Blueberry-Banana-Walnut Muffins

I love to bake! Especially for other people. Prior to my self-imposed exile from the world of sweets and thus baked goods I would bake just to bring in cookies or brownies to work. It's been a while, but I had some free time yesterday afternoon before going to see The Hunger Games (which was awesome), so I baked some muffins!

Blueberry-Banana-Walnut Muffins
wet ingredients
1 cup almond butter
2 eggs
2 bananas - 1 frozen, 1 very ripe (spotty). I feel like using a frozen banana makes the muffins a tad bit sweeter than just using a ripe banana.

dry ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup walnuts
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
2 shakes pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Mash the two bananas in a large bowl using a fork.
Mix the almond butter and the eggs into the mashed banana. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and fold the blueberries into the batter. For those who bake regularly, it will actually look like non-paleo muffin batter.

Fill paper- or silicone-lined muffin tins 3/4 of the way full, or roughly 2 heaping tablespoons per muffin.











Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Makes a baker's dozen worth of muffins. Enjoy!
