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!

This was delicious and so easy to make! Was looking for something other than banana nut bread to make with my left over bananas. This will definitely be in the rotation!

Is there anything we can substitute for the maple syrup and honey? We don’t ever have those in hand in our house.
Kelley Simmons
Hi Ashley,
You could try using regular granulated sugar or agave nectar. I am not sure on how much though. I would try adding a little at a time then tasting the batter before you add the eggs.
Hope this helps!

I tried these for the same exact temperature and even one minute less but they still burned on the outside 🙁 but the inside was still okay
Jess
Can the maple syrup be substituted for regular syrup?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Jess,
Yes I think that should work. You can also just add honey in place of the maple syrup as well.
Thanks & Enjoy!

These are delicious, and they stave off cravings for a good, long time. One muffin kept me from mindlessly going to the pantry and fridge for hours. Thank you!

I make these for my family at least once a week and they are gone in a day. I live in Denver so I had to experiment with the baking time because of the altitude. I’ve found that 18 minutes is the sweet spot. Thanks for the delicious recipe!
Kelley Simmons
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Becky! Thanks so much for sharing!
