Paleo Almond Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

I made some paleo almond banana chocolate mini-muffins yesterday and they are little bite sized bits of deliciousness. 

Original Recipe follows (italics highlight my changes/additions)


Almond Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
3/4 cup almond butter
1 cup almond flour
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (used 4 bananas and blended them)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I probably used more than this and also topped the muffins with more)
1/3 cup plus more for topping muffins Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (I coarsely chopped up some dark chocolate rather than using premade chips which all seemed like they were full of junk)
 

I also added:
some flax (linseed) whole for texture
some coconut 
I didn't measure these

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  
Spray a muffin pan with coconut spray - I used a mini-muffin tray for bit sized muffins
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips and mix everything is incorporated.  
Using a blender, blend bananas, eggs and almond butter
In a bowl mix all dry ingredients (except chocolate)
Stir blender mixture into bowl mixture
Now stir chocolate chips into batter.  
Pour batter into prepared muffin tin. 
Top muffins with a few additional chocolate chips cinnamon
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  
Let the muffins cool and remove from pan.
