Banana / Blueberry Muffin

These muffin are the best!!! They are great for people on the go who need a mid day snack with balanced carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.  No excuses!  Make a batch or two and you are set for the week!



INGREDIENTS:


1 and 1/2 ripe bananas
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup ground flax seed meal 
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder *optional* (I wanted a little extra protein to balance out my C:P:F ratios)
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted *(can use a little less if you'd like)
1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Grease muffin pan(s) with coconut oil.
Mix wet ingredients together in a bowl with a hand mixer: bananas, vanilla extract, and eggs.
Whisk together dry ingredients: coconut flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. 

Add dry ingredients to the banana mixture until well incorporated.  Then add melted coconut oil and mix again.   
Gently stir in blueberries in the batter.
Scoop the batter evenly into muffin pans.  If you want you can sprinkle to tops with additional cinnamon or garnish with almond slithers. 

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until tops are golden brown.  
(You can also use a toothpick to make sure the center is cooked).

These are A-MAZ-ING!!!
For those who know what I'm talking about and those who care:  I tried to balance these out pretty evenly for a even C:P:2F ratio as close as possible.
