Coconut Flour Banana Choc Chip Muffins

These muffins are a great snack for the kids’ lunches but also great with afternoon coffee. Since we’re doing Paleo for my son’s eczema, we are using the most “pure” products we can afford, like raw honey, organic eggs, gluten-free/soy-free chocolate chips and good quality coconut flour and oil.
