So this is my first food post, yay!  These beautiful grain-free banana chocolate chip muffins are one of my favorites.  These are for all the nay-sayers who tell me “I can’t live without baked good, I could never give up grains!”  I get oh’s and ah’s when I make these and most people are amazed they don’t contain grain flour!  Why do I personally try to avoid flour in my..
