Paleo Banana nut muffins

Quite dense and flavor is too peanut butter heavy, needs work. Try adding xanthum gum, peanut butter  1/4 c instead of original 1/2 c. Missing an acid for using baking soda. 

3 eggs
2 c mashed banana (3-4 medium)
1/4 c peanut butter or almond butter (I like crunchy but it's so dense creamy may be better)
1/4 c oil or softened butter (coconut oil is great but probably should melt into liquid)

1/4 C honey or brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1/2 t sea salt (or 1/4 t table salt)
1/2 t orange or lemon/lime zest 
1 t vanilla

1 c. oats
1/2 c almond or coconut flour (coconut is much cheaper 4.99 lb compared to 11.99), try gf flour blend
1/2 t. baking powder (recipe had said 1 t, but it had a bitter/metallic taste)
1 t. baking soda (needs acid-maybe orange juice?)
1/2 c finely chopped walnuts
3/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips (NOT dark choc chips, the muffins can be a little bitter)

1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 18 muffin cups (could also try this as a pancake or waffle recipe).

2. Combine first group of ingredients with an electric mixer. Stir in the remaining ingredients with a spoon. Spoon batter into muffin cups until mostly full.

3. Bake for 18 minutes. Wooden toothpick should come out clean and it should be able to maintain its shape when you try to remove it from the pan.
