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!

Call me a skeptic, I can read reviews and still not believe ; ). They look like they have some kind of flour and yet they have none! Not to mention very tasty! Thank you for sharing!!! Definitely will be saving this one! : D
Kelley Simmons
So glad you enjoyed these Sandra! Thank you so much for sharing!
David
Recipe looks delicious, just wondering about the stated Nutrition Facts, no serving size was listed, so I assume that’s for one muffin?
Kelley Simmons
Hi David,
Yes the serving size is one muffin.
Thanks!

Maria
My kids request these every week, I usually give in at least three times a month. They are so yummy and delicious. I usually cut the honey or maple syrup in half. I have to cook them 18 minutes or they’re too doughy in the middle, elevation maybe ??♀️? Overall, we love these!
Kelley Simmons
Hi Maria!
I am so glad you and your family enjoys these so much! Thank you so much for sharing!

Angela
mine didn’t work out . ? My batter was not creamy and the inside of my muffin turned really gooey.
Kelley Simmons
Hi Angela,
I’m so sorry to hear this did not turn out for you. It may need a bit longer to cook then.
Hope this helps!

It says 300 calories per serving, how many muffins is 1 serving?
Kelley Simmons

Thanks!

Damaris
They sound delicious, but my concern will be sugar, will it be possible to substitute sugar and how much?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Damaris,
You can substitute all honey or all maple syrup if you have either of those ingredients. I have not tried it with regular sugar so it’s hard to say I would personally try just 1/4 cup total of sugar and see if that’s sweet enough!
Thanks!

Super yummy! And not dry like traditional gluten free food! 100% would recommend!
Kelley Simmons
Thanks so much Trin!
Shari
If I wanted to substitute PB Fit Powder, how much would I use (and add water or just use powder)?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Shari,
I have not tried making this recipe with PB powder so it is really hard to say how much to use and if it would work. If you do give it a try let me know how you make out!
Sorry to not be of more help!

If you don’t have a blender do you think these could be made with an electric mixer ?
Kelley Simmons
Hi!
Yes I think this should work. I would try using the whisk attachment and whip it on med-high until smooth and creamy.
Thanks & Enjoy!

Amazing, my husband is gluten free and this was the easiest recipe I’ve ever made. It’s amazing that as much peanut butter there is in it he recipe, it is not peanut butter forward
Kelley Simmons
