Coconut Banana Quinoa Muffins (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

What to do with overripe bananas?  If you are like me, you end up putting them in your freezer to use in baking...someday.  If you are even more like me, you will get an army of frozen overripe bananas in your freezer.  Here is a solution, and one without grains or starches.  I love this recipe as it has tonnes of protein, giving your body lots of energy for the day.  These muffins make a great snack (even safe for school) or a great breakfast.
