Banana Nut Mini Muffins

Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine

Great song people! Atmosphere knows how to say it right! I love the sunshine, just put a smile on everyone's face! We went down to the Local Growers Market today. Found some pasture chickens! Booyah!! Went there looking for it, came home with it. Can't get any better then that. Scott makes some killer wings, no joke, best wings ever. One of these days I will post the recipe.

Thank you Hensel Family Farms :))


My Saturday routine, wake up, make the bed, coffee, then Scott makes us eggs and bacon (the best scrambled eggs ever, so fluffy, might I add), get dressed for CF and head out!

Todays wod was so fun! Chris was inspired last weekend by all the elite athletes at the games so he had us do one of the team wods. This one was my favorite one to watch too! Here it is...there was 12 of us in class today so we did 3 teams of 4. In pairs of 2 you complete the following:

750M Row while your partner holds front rack position
50 burpees while your partner holds OH position
50 thrusters while your partner holds the dip position in rings
(you can switch as many times as needed to complete the wod, and weight was not rxed so you choose)

Scott, Annie, Scott and myself did it in 16:09....so much fun! Everyone worked together cheered each other on and killed it. Shout out to everyone today that participated and to Chris for coaching us through it!! I am so proud of my CF Family!

Stoked on my thrusters, getting those dialed in finally! Everyone talks about how much they hate thrusters, I liked them today. Weird. The OH position is the most foreign thing to me! MAN! Sucks, open gym here I come!

I noticed on FB that someones 30th birthday is coming up next weekend....uuuuhhhhhhhhuuuummmm....Anna?! Is it you!? I don't think you know, but birthdays are HUGE for me. It comes around once a year, and its a day that should be dedicated to doing whatever your little heart desires and your right about everything, ALL DAY! YAY!! So what's the plan!? :))

Made these muffins last night, took them to the gym this morning cause it makes 36 of them! Sheesh! If I didn't bring them to share, I would be stuck on the couch with nothing but crumbs surrounding me and a belly ache. No beuno. But a couple at a time are do-able.

so cute!
I dare you to make these and not eat them all in one sitting....;))

the goodness...mmmmm



Banana Nut Mini Muffins


2 1/4 cup almond meal
2 ripe bananas smashed
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cinnamon
4 tbsp coconut oil
3 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup organic dark chocolate chips

preheat over to 350F

In medium bowl mix together wet ingredients (bananas, oil, eggs, vanilla), in another bowl add dry ingredients (almond meal, salt, baking soda, cinnamon) slowly add dry to wet and mix together till well incorporated, lastly fold in walnuts and chocolate chips.

Get your mini muffin pan out and put paper liners in each cup, if you do not have the liners use a little coconut oil to pan so they dont stick, cause they will, trust me.

Cook at 350F for 16-18 minutes till toothpick doesn't grab any gooey.

Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 16-18 minutes | Eat Time 2 seconds |

Cool slighty and eat one, or two or eight! They are mini for a reason! :))

like little ballerinas dancing on my taste buds
