Paleo Banana Carrot Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast muffins are so enticing…

but often leave us feeling tired, and un-energized. So for Christmas morning and during the holidays I wanted to make some muffins that were energizing, good for you and provided some real nutritious umph. So I came up with these delicious and fairly easy (and low sugar!) paleo banana carrot breakfast muffins.

The key to this recipe is that I used almond flour instead of wheat flour- so they’re gluten free and also the almond flour is a more energizing source of fuel because it doesn’t spike blood sugar as easily and burns more efficiently than some other types of flours. Additionally, I added fresh, mashed banana, and freshly grated carrot for flavor but also for added nutrients.

Finally, instead of using regular sugar, I used honey for a little sweetness (but didn’t need much!). I love honey because it has anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties and it’s concentrated so you don’t need a lot of it.

Make these yummy muffins to have with your favorite breakfast protein (like turkey sausage or eggs) this holiday season (or anytime) – and feel energized all day!
