Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Flourless Muffins. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Use ripe, spotty bananas for best results. These are naturally much sweeter than green bananas and will provide a better texture.

Since these muffins are flourless, the eggs are really important to provide that fluffy texture.

I prefer peanut butter or almond butter for these muffins, but any nut or seed butter will work!

These muffins are naturally sweetened with a touch of maple syrup which is an unrefined sugar. You may sub for honey or agave.

Vanilla extract adds flavor to any baked good!

Baking soda is going to add to the texture and help these muffins rise during baking time.

Use dairy free or regular mini chocolate chips. I love to add chocolate chunks on top too!

Tips And Tricks

Use a high speed blender for best results. This batter may be too thick for a nutri-bullet.

You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well blended.

Use ripe, spotty bananas for best results.

Use a double cookie scoop to easily add the batter into the muffin tins.

Add chocolate chunks to the tops of the muffins before baking. I like to chop up a chocolate bar and sprinkle it on top.

Using mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks in the batter allows for there to be a bit of chocolate in each bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes! Any nut or seed butter will work.

Can I make these without an egg?

Unfortunately no, the texture will be totally different. These muffins will still work but they won’t be as fluffy and moist as pictured above.

Can I make these without a banana?

Apple sauce may work as a replacement, or adding in 1 additional egg. However, please note making these substitutions will alter the recipe 🙂
