Peanut Butter Banana Mini Muffins (No Flour)

These simple flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins come together in under 25 minutes. Chances are you already have the ingredients in your pantry — blend everything, bake, and enjoy a kid-friendly, grab-and-go mini muffin!

I didn’t set out to make a flourless muffin, but that’s how this recipe evolved. I was adapting a blender pancake idea and discovered the batter worked perfectly without any flour — quick, simple, and delicious.

Why you’ll love these flourless Peanut Butter Banana muffins:

• Most likely you already have everything on hand, so these are easy to make anytime ripe bananas need using.
• Mini muffins are perfectly portioned for snacks, lunches, or on-the-go treats.
• They’re kid-friendly (unless there’s a peanut allergy). Almond butter works well as a substitute, and sun butter should work too.
• They’re quick and simple — just blend the ingredients and bake.

What you need to make this recipe:

I keep these ingredients stocked most of the time, so this is my go-to when I have ripe bananas.

• Peanut butter: I use natural creamy peanut butter that needs stirring and contains no added sugar. If your peanut butter is sweetened, reduce the maple syrup or honey slightly.

How to make these Peanut Butter Banana mini muffins:

• Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor. (Step 1)
• Blend on high until smooth, about one minute with a powerful blender. (Step 2)
• Fill well-greased or lined mini muffin cups about two-thirds full. If your liners aren’t nonstick, spray them lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Cooling completely also helps release the muffins. (Step 3)
• Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes. They bake quickly, so check around the 8-minute mark.

Pro tips and notes:

• Some muffin liners aren’t truly nonstick. If you notice sticking, spritz liners with cooking spray or grease the pan well.
• Let the muffins cool completely before removing them for best results.
• It’s better to slightly underbake than overbake — if a toothpick comes out mostly clean, they’re done.
• These freeze well. Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds to one minute.
• Add chocolate chips, white chocolate, nuts, or other mix-ins to customize the muffins.
