So I wanted to create a muffin that holds up well in a lunch box and doesn’t go mushy. These are perfect for that! They’re also school friendly as they have no nuts, and because they are plain, they are great for even the pickiest of eaters. The coconut sugar in these…

Hi guys… it’s me, the muffin woman. I’m back sharing an updated muffin recipe and hope you’re excited! To be honest, I had no idea if these paleo chocolate tahini banana muffins would turn out when I first tested them years ago.

This recipe basically involved me trying to combine my paleo banana muffin recipe and tahini brownies together to form a crazy good muffin. When it worked, I felt like Wonder Woman. And after I took a bite and…
