    Oh my goodness these Paleo Banana Walnut Muffins With Cinnamon Sugar Streusel topping are the bomb! They are sweet, but not overly sweet, moist, and perfectly cinnamon-y. I have been loving them for a fast and yummy breakfast, but you really can eat these for a snack or an after dinner dessert.

    Lately I have been playing more and more with cassava flour and trying to use it in cooking and baking. Cassava flour is gluten free, grain free, nut free, Paleo, and Whole30. Cassava is a root vegetable and when made into flour it has a light and fairly neutral taste.

    This Paleo Banana Walnut Muffins recipe calls for cassava flour which you can find at your local Whole Foods, possibly your local grocery store (in the gluten free section), or on Amazon. Bobs Red Mill makes a cassava flour which is what I used in this recipe. I haven't tried substituting the cassava flour for any other gluten free flours in this recipe yet.

    I am all about easy and fast recipes and this one is just that. No big equipment is needed, just some bowls and a whisk. Throw it all together and bake! I should warn you that your house is going to smell SO good and you will probably have to fight off your kids and spouse from devouring them right from the oven!
