Paleo Allergen-Free Banana Pumpkin Muffins

Don't you just love it when you just happen to "throw something together" and it just works out and tastes great? Well, I love to bake (especially now that fall is here!) but before my Paleo days, stuff I just threw together looked and tasted like, well, stuff I had just thrown together. But since Paleo... aha, since Paleo...

Take today's lovely muffins for example.






Yup. That one. You'll notice that the cups around it are empty - that's because that's how fast they were gone. I even got a genuine compliment from a six-year-old. He said, and I quote, "Those were the best muffins I've ever eaten!" Yeah!

So, on to the recipe...

BANANA - PUMPKIN MUFFINS (nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, grain-free)
Ingredients:
3 bananas, mashed
1.5 cups shredded coconut (NOT coconut flour)
1.5 cups pureed pumpkin
2 - 3 tablespoons raw honey
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 - 2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt

Method:
Mix all ingredients together and fill muffins liners almost to the top. Bake in an oven preheated to 350F for 20 - 25 minutes and enjoy!

(Makes 12.)
