🥜🍫 Flourless Peanut Butter Muffins are made in a blender and come together in minutes. Soft, fluffy, and studded with chocolate chips, you’d never guess they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free!

Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Muffins

Over the years, I’ve tried my hand at making flourless peanut butter cookies, peanut butter and chocolate flourless brownies, and flourless peanut butter chocolate chip blender cake. However, I dragged my feet on making flourless peanut butter muffins, worried they would turn out like chocolate peanut butter fudge. Boy, was I wrong!

One of the most popular muffin recipes on my site, this recipe is:

  • Springy and bouncy, supremely moist, and full of rich, nutty, chocolatey flavors.
  • Perfect for peanut butter lovers, these muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, dairy-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, and clock in under 100 calories each.
  • SO easy to prepare and ready in about 17 seconds with the flip of a switch, thanks to the blender.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator or freezer, meaning these muffins are great for meal prep.

Amazing every time I make them!

Ingredients You’ll Need

For these peanut butter chocolate chip muffins, you’ll need: 

  • Banana: This helps add lightness, fluffiness, and natural sweetness since there are only 3 tablespoons of honey used to sweeten the entire recipe. And for those who don’t like bananas, you’re very safe here, and you can hardly taste them
  • Egg: I haven’t tested this recipe with an egg substitute, and I can’t guarantee the results if you do
  • Creamy peanut butter: I personally recommend using peanut butter from a brand like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter or homemade peanut butter will make the batter too runny. But if you have a peanut allergy, you may be able to use sun butter or almond butter. Just note that both are much thinner and runnier than peanut butter, and I don’t know if either will work
  • Honey: This replaces the need for white sugar and adds moisture to the muffins. Honey will also work
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Mini chocolate chips: I used mini chocolate chips because the size is perfectly proportionate for the mini muffins. You could substitute peanut butter chips or chopped peanuts if you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor

Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.

How to Make Peanut Butter Muffins in a Blender

  1. Blend all the ingredients except the chocolate chips in a blender until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a blender, you can also whisk mashed banana with the wet ingredients and dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  2. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter by hand. Don’t use the blender, or it will pulverize them!
  3. Portion the batter in mini muffin pans greased with oil or lined with muffin liners, filling the muffin cups 3/4 of the way full. I like to sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the top of each muffin for extra chocolatey goodness.
  4. Bake just until the tops are set, domed, and springy to the touch. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The exact baking time will vary. So, keep an eye on your oven, and adjust as needed!
  5. Cool the muffins in the pan on a cooling rack, and enjoy them as a breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Can I Make These as Regular-Sized Muffins?

I haven’t tested the recipe as full-size muffins. You’ll probably yield about 8 or 9, and I’d start watching the clock closely at about 13 minutes and go from there. I’d love to know how it goes if you give it a try!

Flourless Mini Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

By Averie Sunshine
🥜🍫 These gluten-free peanut butter muffins are made in a blender and come together in mere minutes. Plus, they're studded with mini chocolate chips!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes
Servings: 17 muffins

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 large egg
  • heaping 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, I recommend using classic storebought peanut butter, and not natural or homemade
  • 3 tablespoons honey, agave or maple syrup may be substituted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ÂĽ teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt, optional and to taste
  • heaping 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare mini muffin pans by spraying very well with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pans; set aside. If keeping gluten-free for health reasons, simply use cooking spray or grease the pan.
  • To the canister of a blender, add first 7 ingredients, through optional salt, and blend on high speed until smoothy and creamy, about 1 minute.
  • Add chocolate chips and stir in by hand; don’t use the blender because it will pulverize them.
  • Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop that’s been sprayed with cooking spray (helps batter slide off spoon or scoop easily), form rounded 1 tablespoon mounds and place mounds into prepared pans. Each cavity should be filled to a solid 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the tops are set, domed, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Due to their small size and oven variance, make sure to watch your muffins closely, and bake until done. Allow muffins to cool in pans for about 10 minutes, or until they’ve firmed up and are cool enough to handle.

Notes

Storage: Muffins are best fresh, but will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months.

    My family loves these! I don’t even use honey or other liquid sweetener and I use slightly less than recommended amount of chocolate chips. My children love it and I have shared this recipe with clients countless times- they love it too!

    I do the same with my ripe bananas and I have made this recipe a million times using frozen and thawed bananas it works fine for us! 

  11. 5 stars
    I made these for my sister who is gluten intolerant. Not only did she love them , so did my husband and all 4 grandkids. I even made a batch with mini m&m’s. They are easy to make and very delicious.

  12. Hi Can I make these using frozen ripe bananas? I normally freeze bananas as they ripen to use later! Thanks!

    1. I never have and because there’s no flour in this recipe, I do worry that the frozen, i.e. jucier bananas could add too much moisture to the batter, but you can experiment and see how it goes for you. Please comment again if you try this so we know!

      1. I did make it with frozen bananas. I defrosted them just enough in the microwave, and the muffins came out good. I have eaten the ones made with normal bananas, so I can compare.

      2. Glad you’ve made them both ways and can compare and that they come out well both ways!
