Funky Monkey Banana Bread/Muffins


So the new fad for a while has been gluten/grain/sugar free foods, so I decided to try one because we have been trying to go that route a little in our household. This recipe is amazing!! My 2.5 yr old loved them!
 
  (Gluten/grain/sugar/dairy-free)

Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour or almond meal (I used almond meal)
1/4 cup flaxseed meal (grind it fresh for bonus points)
1 TBSP cinnamon
4 packets of Stevia or Truvia (I don't like my stuff really sweet, so more or less.)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup (225g) of really ripe mashed up banana (2 med bananas)
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
** Optional: dark chocolate chips, chopped walnuts or pecans, or whatever else makes your monkey the funkiest. I used dark choco chips.

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease two mini loaf pans (5.75 x 3.25 x 2.25) or a muffin tin.

In one bowl, mix together all wet ingredients.
In another bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
Dump the wet stuff into the dry stuff and mix.

Spoon the batter into the two greased mini loaf pans or into a muffin tin that holds 12.

Throw it into the oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes for muffins, or 25 - 27 minutes for mini loaves, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove. Cool. Slice. Top with nut butter, real butter, coconut butter, or whatever you want.

Macros are for the batter without chocolate chips, nuts, or any of the optional extras
