Alright friends. It’s somehow already August, which means it’s basically September… which means summer is over and FALL IS HERE.
I feel like I have been going, going, going non-stop. In my head, summer is always a nice relaxing season where I get to unwind. But in reality, it’s the opposite. Granted, the extra items in my schedule tend to include weekend trips with friends, movies in the park, dining al fresco – fun things that I feel so blessed to be able to participate in. But all that extra tends to throw me a little off balance.
You know what I mean?
But today, I am getting Back to Balance with these insane Paleo Zucchini Banana Muffins… with chocolate chips and a coconut glaze.
We are using the Simple Mills Banana Muffin Mix which keeps these muffins gluten/grain free, dairy free, and made with paleo ingredients. WIN.
If you haven’t heard of Simple Mills yet, you really need to check them out. Their product line is outstanding – everything is gluten and grain free, made with simple ingredients that you will actually recognize. My favorites are their almond flour crackers, pizza dough mix, and frosting. But I’m pretty obsessed with everything they make – and I used their baking mixes to make my birthday cake last year!
So for the muffins, you just use the banana muffin mix according to the directions on the box to keep things super easy.
And then you add in grated zucchini and diary free chocolate chips – I like to add in a vegetable and some chocolate because… balance.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention – you can get Simple Mills baking mixes at Target! HALLELUJAH. I can’t guarantee you won’t leave Target without spend an additional $50 on things you don’t need. But, you do need to head there to pick up these baking mixes!
