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 weren’t bad, but they didn’t have a lot of substance. It’s mostly peanut butter and sweetener. The chocolate chips are the only thing giving it any substance or texture. They were super easy to throw together and overall pleasant, but they’re very high calory for something that didn’t feel very satisfying or filling.
Johnna
I made this without the honey – absolutely delicious! Tastes like dessert, exactly what I was hoping for. I was brainstorming how to remove the maple syrup to help decrease my added daily sugars. Do you think replacing the maple syrup with 1 extra banana and 1/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder might work? Or would this ruin the texture? Maybe just replacing with 1 extra banana?
Kelley Simmons
Yes you could totally omit the maple syrup and add another banana. Also try to go for super ripe bananas since they will be sweeter. Enjoy!!
Stephanie Rivera
Delicious! I will be creating this again. I added cinnamon to the recipe and substituted the peanut butter with almond butter.
Donna Udahl
These were tasty and easy to make.
Kelley Simmons
So happy to hear that!!
Pam Serafino
I was wondering if they are baked at 400 or 375? The recipe says 375°, but in the initial text of the blog it says 400°.
I’ve been starting it at 400, then turn it to 375 so they don’t get too brown.
My grandsons have celiac, so we make these a lot. I just wasn’t sure of the best temperature to use
Kelley Simmons
So sorry for the confusion! We make this recipe a lot too and sometimes I find they get a little too brown so I reduced the temp to 375.
Thanks for letting me know I will adjust the text to reflect this throughout!
Ellie
I really love them. They are very good and easy to make
Kelley Simmons
Yah so happy you enjoyed these muffins!
DeeDee Mcbride
Came out great!
Ace
They tasted delicious but they sank and looked floppy! Any ideas on how to avoid them sinking??
Kelley Simmons
Hi!
I would recommend leaving them in the oven for a bit longer next time. If I underbake these I notice they sink in the middle.
Thanks!
Kelley
Kay
So easy and so good!

Can I add pumpkin to this recipe?
Kelley Simmons
Yes! I have been testing actually making this recipe with pumpkin and omitting the bananas!
