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!
They take 15 minutes or prep time and 15 minutes to bake. You could be eating these muffins in under 30 minutes! Enjoy!
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
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a regular size muffin pan with cooking spray, set aside.
- 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.
- Divide the batter between the 12 muffins, they should be 3/4 of the way full (or a bit more).
- 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.)
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
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!

These didn’t turn out for me , I’m not sure why since I followed the recipe and didn’t change a thing . I checked on them at 13 minutes and the middle looked gooey but the edges were crisping up. I had to take them out at 16 minutes since the edges were starting to burn . Once out the bottoms were burnt as well and the inside was still gooey . They also tasted bitter probably due to them being burnt . Any ideas what went wrong because I would love to make these for my Celiac daughter . Thanks

Hi Maria!
I am so sorry these got burned! This is a family favorite of ours and we make it at least once a week. I have been turning my oven down to 375 degrees because I typically bake these in a dark colored muffin tin. I updated the recipe card as well to list 375. I would also check your oven temperature as well sometimes they can run a bit hot and this could cause it to brown to fast.
Hope this helps and that you do make them again! Thank you!

I made this for my family last night and everyone loved it! I was anticipating a large amount of leftovers, as there are only 3 people in my family, but we ate the whole batch in one day. I can’t wait to make this again. It is definitely a new family favorite. Thank you!
Kelley Simmons
Yah that makes me so happy to hear Sonya! Thank you so much for trying my recipe!
Kristin
Are you using a muffin pan or a cupcake pan? If I used a cupcake pan how would that change bake time? Thank you! 🙂
Kelley Simmons
Hi!
I’ve actually used both! I didn’t really notice a difference in bake times so you should be good to go!
Thanks!

Mary Price
Can anything be used as a substitute for the eggs?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Mary,
When I don’t have eggs on hand I make flax eggs and they work perfectly.
Thanks!

I have made this recipee several times and love it. Using the blender is so much quicker than using a mixer. This time I added about a third cup gluten free flour to make them more fluffy. Came out great.
Kelley Simmons
Yah so glad you enjoyed these muffins! Love the idea of adding gluten free flour to add fluffiness!
Debbie
Love these! Even my daughters, who refuse to eat anything “healthy” gobble them up so I have to make a double batch! Perfect to take as a snack to work.
Kelley Simmons
Yah so happy to hear you and your daughters enjoy these muffins as much as well do! Thanks so much for sharing Debbie!
Kathy
