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 made these with almond butter and the flavor is amazing. I filled the muffin tins nearly full and they rose up beautifully but then sank in the middle. Any suggestions on preventing the sinking? The toothpick inserted came out clean.
Kelley Simmons
Hi Denise,
I have had this happen to my muffins as well when I bake them. I think it is because of the missing flour that they tend to fall a bit as they cool. It is totally normal though!
Thanks!

Hey can we use 1/2 oil and 1/2 peanut butter? Also only honey instead of maple syrup?
Kelley Simmons
Hi!
I would not suggest substituting oil in place of some of the peanut butter. I would do the full amount of peanut butter. All honey will be ok!
Thanks!

These were the best muffins I’ve ever made! I’m usually not the best with baking adn these turned out delicious. Can’t believe they were flourless too–the texture is really fluffy as if it had flour.
Diane
I would use less chocolate and bake at 350 deg. Got too dark at 400.
Moist and delicious!
Amy
Fabulous! Best muffins I’ve ever made! I used 1/2c almond butter, 1/2c peanut butter.
Kelley Simmons
Thank you so much Amy! I am so glad you enjoyed these muffins!
Marina
Oh. My. Word. I have no words. Most amazing muffins I’ve ever had.
Kelley Simmons

Genie
Hi, these sound great and have read everyone’s comments. When you say “creamy peanut butter” is that the hydrogenated kind? I only use natural pb and wondering if that will work? I also have mini muffin tins, would this work ok as well? Thanks!
Kelley Simmons
Hi Genie,
I used natural creamy peanut butter in this recipe too. I just make sure to mix it up really well and choose one that’s not too runny or too thick. I have not tried this in mini muffin tins I am sure it will be fine just reduce the cooking time.
Thanks!
