Chocolate Nut Butter Banana Muffins (Dairy, Gluten and Refined Sugar Free)

We seem to be eating less bananas which means my freezer collection has been growing.  I wanted to make a heartier muffin with some additional protein.  This recipe turned out really well and was enjoyed by our family as well as our friends.  I hope you enjoy as well.  To make this school friendly make sure you use a nut free milk as well as sunflower seed butter.
