3 Reasons These Paleo Banana Muffins are the Perfect Snack

Muffins used to be a typical breakfast food, until the world realized that they're just cupcakes without icing. 

High-carb, low-fat breakfast options were once considered healthy, mainly because of the war against fat. Once thought to make you fat, we now know that quality fat is actually one of the best macronutrients. That's because it's incredibly beneficial for your health due to all of its satiating, brain-protecting and performance-enhancing benefits. 

We've also learned that carbohydrate-rich foods like flours, sugars, and cereals can impact your hormones and weight in ways we weren't aware of before. 

So, as delicious as they are, muffins started to lose traction... 

Until now. Enter these delicious low-carb paleo muffins. Here are a few reasons why they rock:

1. Weight Management

These muffins include coconut, which contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Researchers have found that MCTs may support weight loss when combined with a ketogenic or low-carb diet [*]. 

2. Heart Health

Bananas are rich in potassium, which may help reduce blood pressure and reduced risk of heart disease. Potassium is also a crucial component of electrolytes [*]. 

3. Anti-Inflammatory Properties 

Both coconut and bananas are full of micronutrients and minerals that may act as antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties that combat free radicals and may help prevent diseases, such as diabetes and cancer [*].
