Sunbutter and Jelly Muffins

So we have been trying to head towards a more primal way of eating. This works fine for the hubs and myself (especially since I started eating meat again after 16 years of vegetarianism) however for the kidlettes this is not so easy!!!!

When we really started cleaning up our diet the kids were starving all the time. No matter how much protein, veg, and fruit I gave them, I just couldn't keep them full. I am sure some kids do just fine eating paleo but my kids were miserable. And besides our oldest child's peanut allergy they seem to be unaffected by foods...with the exception if sugar! Sugar is avoided in the house.

So this weekend the kiddos and I made some yummy muffins for snacks this week. New that school is back in session, a morning snack is a must for our ever growing family.

I just threw these together but I am pretty sure of the measurements. I would not however recommend using grape jelly for this, as you will see in the pictures it did not hold up so well.

I think in the future I will use chia jelly, it is nice and thick and has zero sugar! (I will post that recipe next)

Any who... here are the ingredients
1/2c coconut oil
4 very ripe bananas
5 eggs
1/2c Sunbutter (or sub nut butter of your choice)
Blend these with the paddle attachment until nice and creamy

1 1/2c bleached white flour (sub as you wish with whole wheat, coconut or almond meal just make sure you add more eggs for coconut. I suggest looking up a blog in substitutions )
1/2t baking powder
1t baking soda
Pinch of salt

Mix wet and dry separately then slowly combine. I also added about 3T of chocolate chips. We use the enjoy life brand. They are nut, gluten, dairy and soy free! Love that company .

Scoop into greased muffins tins. I used coconut oil. Once all the spaces are filled use the back of a spoon or icecream scoop to make a well in the top of the batter. Then put a small spoon full of jelly/jam in them.

Bake at 375° for 25-30mins

I am refrigerating mine. Not sure how they would hold up at room temp with the jelly. Also Sunbutter turns a slight greenish color when baked so don't be alarmed.
