Delicious Grain Free - Sugar Free Banana Nut Muffins (Paleo Recipe)

What could be better than a delicious, warm banana nut muffin? Unfortunately for many people, either due to gluten sensitivity or by diet choice, treats like this are off limits. 

In my quest to feel better, yet NOT drive my family crazy at the same time; I found this tasty recipe. It fits the bill for anyone trying to avoid gluten or grains altogether!
