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!

I tried these a second time using a hand mixer and they did not turn out well at all.
Nathan
Hi diane,
I’m so sorry these didn’t turn out well for you. Was it a taste or texture issue? I may be able to help you troubleshoot.
Sincerely

Mine turned out super goopy in the middle. Put them back in the oven for another 10 min and still gooey (like under cooked)
Is the temp 400 degrees convection?
Kelley
Hi Kristen,
I am so sorry to hear that! I bake mine at 400 degree conventional. If they are still gooey I would try baking for a bit longer. I hope that helps!
Thank you!

These are so delicious and moist! They are the perfect amount of sweet and fresh to be able to eat the whole batch. Definitely going to use this recipe over and over again!

How do you store these? Made these Monday night, put in Tupperware on counter and Wednesday am they were all full of green mold 🙁 Bummed bc this was one of our favorite recipes so far!
Nathan
Hi Kaitlyn,
I’m so sorry that they went bad so fast. The good news about this recipe is that it freezes very well. Any muffins that you aren’t going to eat right away, wrap up well, and pop them in the freezer. Thaw them out for an hour and they will taste as fresh as the day they were baked. I ope this is helpful! Thank you so much for your comment!

Sharron

Kelley

Thanks!
