Flourless Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins: When you create a muffin that the entire family loves to eat, you make a big batch and you share the recipe with the world!
Now, of course, I always put together a “big batch” of whatever I’m making because we have a large family. But even though we have a lot of kids, not all of them have teeth or eat much yet. So we don’t need as big of batches of steak and broccoli at this point. Muffins though?
Must. Make. Muffins. In. Big. Batch.
We go through muffins like crazy around here. Our just-turned-one-year-old only has a few front teeth, but she is good at gumming her little nibbles of muffins and she loves them! Our 2-year-old and 3-year-olds LOVE muffins. Our six and eight-year-olds love muffins. Our teens and adults love muffins. Well. We go through a lot of muffins around here.
Muffins Freeze Well
So that’s why I’m giving you a Big Batch recipe for these Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins. If we’re going to dirty up some dishes, why not make a big batch of something that freezes well? When I make these muffins, I set them out for today’s snack and tomorrow’s breakfast. Then, whatever is remaining goes into the freezer to pull out for another day!
I love that these muffins are flourless. I love that all of these ingredients go into a blender and are mixed up so easily. And of course, I love that these are moist and taste so delicious!
You can make them gluten-free (if you use GF oats) and dairy-free (if you use coconut oil and coconut or almond milk).
Flourless Chocolate Banana Blender Muffins
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 4 overripe bananas
- ½ cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 3 cups whole rolled oats
- ¾ cup brown sugar or sucanat
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Put all ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) into a blender, beginning with the liquids.
- Blend until smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour into 24 paper-lined muffin tins.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
What do you mean fold in chocolate chips? I will definitely try this recipe! Thanks!
I know I’m not Laura, but that means to gently mix in the chocolate chips with a spatula, after you’ve blended the other ingredients together.
one of my favorite Trim Healthy Mama recipes is a chocolate-banana-oat muffin, which is a lot of these same ingredients, but you pre-ground the oats into flour instead of blending everything together. This sounds so much quicker and simpler! Trying these asap!! :)
Does anyone have any idea how many carbs these flourless muffins contain? They sound so good but bananas can have a lot of sugar?
These sound great! Has anyone tried subbing out the egg with flax eggs?
Sounds awesome
Just made these tonight! SO yummy and a big hit with my kids.
I did a half batch because I only had 2 bananas and it was easy to divide the measurements.
I will say, it’s putzy to get all the batter out of the bottom of my blender, around the blade (maybe that’s just me) so next time I make these, I’ll probably pre-grind the oats in my coffee grinder and mix everything in a bowl by hand. Much easier to scrape out a bowl than a blender! :)
My family loves muffins too, and our local grocery store sells over ripe bananas for a few cents! Looks like my junior chef will be helping me make these, and I’ll print out a recipe for her binder. ??
Oops! Not sure why two ?? at the end. ??
Any calorie count on these ?
