Ingredients breakdown
Ripe bananas: The riper your bananas are the sweeter they are. If you’re like me, you have a stash of over ripe bananas in your freezer. Those work perfect for this recipe!
Eggs, apple sauce or flax egg: This is what helps bind the muffin together, and help create structure without added flour. If you want a vegan option unsweetened apple sauce or flax eggs work just as well!
Natural peanut butter: Natural peanut butter is the best option, natural peanut butter has no added sugar or refined oils, making it a healthier choice. With no added ingredients It does tend to separate, the natural oils will sit on top of the jar. Just give it a good stir, or store it upside down with the lid on tight!
Maple syrup or honey: You can use maple syrup or honey, this just gives the muffins a little extra sweetness without adding refined sugar.
Baking soda & baking powder: These leavening agents help with the rising of the muffins. They also help with structure and browning as they bake.
Salt: I recommend using sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, salt adds flavor in baking so dont skip it!
Cinnamon: This is optional, if you have an allergy or just dont like cinnamon you can leave it out.
Dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs: Dark chocolate or cocoa nibs work great, you can also use chopped nuts, or fresh berries!
Do I need a blender to make these?
Nope! you can use a food processor if you have that too. You can also make these in a bowl and mix by hand, or a stand mixer. Just make sure you mix everything together well, mash the bananas really well. The blender does help introduce some air into the batter as it mixes at high speed, which helps create such a light and fluffy flourless muffin. But if you do not have a blender dont you worry, you can still make them and yes they will be yummy!
Can I use a different nut butter?
Yes you can! If you have a peanut allergy or just don't have any on hand, you can use another nut butter. Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter, or even tahini will work.
