Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

These Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins couldn’t be easier. Simply add all of the ingredients to a blender and pulse to combine that’s it! Best of all they are healthy, gluten free and make an awesome breakfast or dessert! They are also free of oil or refined sugars. They are a great snack you don’t have to feel guilty about eating!

The muffins are melt in your mouth soft. The muffins get a lot of their moisture from the bananas. There are two whole bananas for just these 12 muffins!

Ingredients

  • Banana (I like to use extra ripe bananas. The riper they are the sweeter they will make your muffins)
  • Eggs
  • Creamy peanut butter (You can substitute half peanut butter for almond or cashew butter)
  • Maple syrup
  • Honey
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking soda
  • Chocolate chips (I use a mini semi sweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate chips would also be amazing in this)

How to make Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

  • Add all of the first 7 ingredients to the blender except for the chocolate chips. Blend until creamy and smooth, 2 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips by hand.

  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean. (I slightly under bake mine because they continue to bake in the pan as they cool.)

Make these into mini muffins!

My kids love making these in mini muffins! That way they can customize what toppings they like! My toddlers love putting sprinkles, chocolate chips and my personal favorite jelly!

To make these into mini muffins simply use a mini muffin tin and bake at the same temperature but for less time. Mine usually take between 7-8 minutes.

Can you freeze these muffins?

Yes! These muffins freeze really well. Allow the muffins to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat these muffins thaw on the counter at room temperature or defrost in the microwave. They are best served warm with a bit of butter or peanut butter on top!

How to make these lower calorie?

I’ve had a couple readers comment on the calories of these muffins. They have 1 whole cup of peanut butter and that’s where most of the calories come in. However I do some swaps when I make these for my family to make them lower in calories. I omit the honey and use only 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. The muffins are still sweet and the honey isn’t missed. This brings the calories per muffin down to 206! You can also omit the chocolate chips and honey entirely and bring the calories down to 178!
