I hope you enjoyed the little break I gave you from banana bread because It is back! “Paleo Banana Muffin Tops” another delicious version of my Paleo Banana bread. These muffin tops are perfect for portion control (said no one ever). They are called muffin tops because they are a little crispy on the outside but soft and moist in the inside. Just like muffins tops! Isn’t the top the best part anyway? I have to say though, these are so much lighter and of course, they are actually better for you.
But forget about all that, these are just delicious. I love that it only takes 1 banana to make 8 to 10 of these babies while banana bread takes 2 or 3 bananas large bananas. So, If you want to make an easy and small batch of banana bread, give this recipe a try!
