Paleo Banana Muffins

By contributing writer Tessa

These hearty Paleo Banana Muffins could also be called Elvis Muffins to celebrate the King of Soul’s favorite combination: bananas and peanut butter. But peanut butter is not paleo and with so many peanut allergies, it is banned in many schools. So any nut or seed butter will do in this recipe.
