This double chocolate chip paleo muffins recipe makes a perfect quick, delicious, and healthy snack or dessert!

Let me give you five compelling reasons to love this double chocolate chip paleo muffins recipe as much as I do.

1. They taste enough like chocolate cake to perfectly satisfy cravings.
2. They’re only sweetened with bananas (ok, and chocolate chips), but not sugar or honey.
3. The ingredients list is short, and all things I usually have on hand.
4. They take 5 minutes to prep.
5. These + some melty peanut butter on top fulfill all my chocolate peanut butter dreams. MMM! (Side note if you care: peanuts are not paleo-compliant. Almond butter is just as good.)

This double chocolate chip paleo muffin recipe can be whipped up in half an hour, and kids and adults will love them! The muffins have an almond flour base, and they’re gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.

If you’re new to paleo baking, almond flour is a staple you’ll definitely want to have on hand and use constantly. It’s delicious, full of protein, and a great source of fiber as well. You can get it on Amazon or in most grocery stores:

In addition to almond flour, I recommend using pink Himalayan salt in all of your cooking and baking, because it has way more nutritious minerals than traditional iodized salt, and none of the toxins. Read more about pink Himalayan salt in my post.

You can find pink salt on Amazon as well, or in most grocery stores these days.

If you are looking for dairy-free chocolate chips, Enjoy Life is a really great brand to try! You can find them in some grocery stores, or on Amazon:

I have one more ingredient recommendation, and that’s for coconut oil. If you don’t like the taste of coconut, don’t worry. Buy refined coconut oil – the coconut taste has been extracted.

I personally love the taste of coconut, and so I buy giant tubs of virgin coconut oil. Nutiva is an excellent brand that makes organic, sustainably-sourced coconut oil:

For the bananas, the browner the better when it comes to baking! As bananas become more ripe, they become more sweet.

I personally like to let a bunch of bananas get really brown, then throw them in the freezer. That way I have them on hand when I need them for baking or smoothies.

If you have frozen bananas, just let them sit out and thaw or give them a quick zap in the microwave so that you can mash them and mix them into your baking.
