Only 5 minutes of prep needed to makes these flourless, paleo & vegan friendly Almond Butter Blender Muffins! Enjoy as a healthy snack or on the go breakfast! It’s also great if you need to use up ripe bananas!
Yes, that’s right, I said almond butter blender muffins – as in toss all of your ingredients into the blender (save for the chocolate chips) and hit go. Once it’s blended up to a smooth, pourable batter just pour it into little muffin tins, drop in couple of chocolate chips and bake. It doesn’t really get any easier or faster than that.
Almond Butter Blender Muffins
As I said before these almond butter blender muffins take next to no effort to throw together – about five minutes tops! These are also egg and dairy free – provided you use dairy free chocolate chips making these both paleo and vegan.
These muffins are dense and super moist – like miniature banana bread loaves. Between the banana and the maple these muffins are naturally sweetened. I only add a few tablespoons maple syrup because my personal preference is not too sweet, but feel free to add an additional tablespoon if you like it sweet.
Customise It
You can try making these using different nut butters – so far I’ve tried it with almond butter and peanut butter. I have yet to try it out myself, but I imagine sunflower seed butter would work as a great nut free substitute. If you try out any different nut butters or add ins let me know in the comments how it goes!

Hope you enjoyed them 🙂
Ashley says
Would you be able to swap the non-dairy milk for cows milk and it turn out the same? I am avoiding seed oils which is one of the main ingredients of the non-dairy milks.
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Ashley! That’s no problem at all!
Erin says
These muffins were pretty good! If you have trouble getting your muffins out of the tin, try using a silicone spatula and running it around the outside of the muffins to help remove them. Next time, I’ll try making these with peanut butter.
Sarah Nevins says
Thanks Erin – so glad you enjoyed them!
Ruth says
Hi. I can’t have chocolate: would apple work instead?
Thx
Sarah Nevins says
Hi Ruth! So, I think in most cases adding apple chunks wouldn’t be a bad idea. The problem you might run into with this recipe is that the muffins are already quite moist from all the wet ingredients. I’m not positive in saying this without testing the recipe first, but I worry that the moisture from the apple might tip the moisture content over the edge resulting in muffins that never quite set. It could work, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t.
You can absolutely leave out the chocolate chips, but if you wanted to replace them with another ingredient I think it would be better do add something dry like raisins (or other dried fruit) or nuts.
Sorry I can’t give you a more definitive answer here – I’d just hate to steer you wrong!
