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!

Melissa
These muffins are delicious. They make the perfect quick and easy breakfast! Toddler and husband approved!!
I will say, I’m not sure how the calorie count is 300/muffin.. I calculated about 180/muffin. Maybe it was the peanut butter I used? Regardless.. they’re delicious!
Kelley Simmons
So glad you enjoyed these muffins Melissa! Thanks so much for sharing!

Looks amazing 😍 what If you dont have a maple syrup? What should i use instead?
Kelley Simmons
Thank you! Honey would work in place of the maple syrup!
Kathy
These are so good!

These are simple to make and a blast to see how they turn out! I admit I was skeptical at first. I’ve made them numerous times and have shared with others who enjoy them as much as me. They are delicious and a wonderful alternative for me to muffins with wheat.

Omg i just made this.
My mouth is drooling. These melted instantly in my mouth.
I did not have maple syrup, so I substituted less than 1/3rd cup coconut sugar. And added some coco powder. & half of the muffins were topped with coconut flakes!
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Kelley Simmons
So glad you enjoyed this recipe Grishma! Thank you!
Erica Hart
Can I substitute Greek yogurt instead of peanut butter?
Kelley Simmons
Hi Erica,
I am not sure the greek yogurt would work in place of the peanut butter. I have not tried it so it is hard to say for sure. You can always try to do 1/2 peanut butter and 1/2 greek yogurt to start. Hope this helps and let me know how you make out if you end up trying it!
Thanks!
