Paleo Banana Nut Donut Holes

My favorite muffin flavor is banana nut (igf your’e wondering my motivation behind making these banana nut donut holes).  There is just something about it that makes the world go round! My mom used to by the prepackaged banana nut muffins for my lunch in middle school and they were the highlight of my day (I hated middle school!!).  They were no where near healthy, with artificial banana flavoring and a chock-full of sugar (yuck I do not know why I ate them!)

 I have made a few types of muffins the past few days so it was time to recreate something else.  Banana nut munchkins came into my mind and they are amazing!  They literally taste like a banana nut muffin transformed into a donut!
