Almond Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Paleo)

   I have another paleo recipe to share with ya'll. I actually made these Tuesday night since we had a big bunch of bananas that were ripe and it would be the last time I wouldn't be able to eat the rest for about 1 week. Wednesday I has another dentist appointment to fill some cavities that were caused by the amount of medications I take and I ended up being there for 3 hour since my dentist is also the only "main" dentist in the office so she goes between patients. Last time I got work done, I couldn't eat solid food for about a week and now that I have a temporary crown I may go longer since I don't want to mess anything up.

   By the time we left we had to head over to the next town's DPS office to go take my driver's test. I had an  appointment, but we ended up getting there 2 1/2 hours early, stood in a long line, filled out some paperwork, waited, got called, filled out more papers, and then went outside to wait to take my test. Well after waiting in a long line of vehicles and it being well after my appointment time, my time for my test finally came and I passed! I was only really worried about parallel parking since that's the first thing they test, if you fail that then you can't move further with your test, and I had heard horror stories of instructors yelling at the kids and then driving them back to the office so everyone would know that they failed. Also the last time I had parallel parked was when I was taking the driver school when I was a sophomore and I was in a small car instead of our truck. I ended up parallel parking perfectly and the whole test lasted only about 10 minutes.

 Since I wouldn't be able to eat the rest of these muffins for a while, I ended up putting most of the in a freezer bag to enjoy another time.

>Update: My uncle who doesn't normally eat foods made specifically for special dietary needs (i.e gluten free, sugar free, or dairy free) loved these muffins and asked for some more next time I make another batch.
