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!

Mac n Cheese sounds like a fantastic Valentine’s Day dinner! 😀 We are more partial to take out Pizza (so no one has to cook AND no clean up!) but I would gladly have a bowl of Mac n Cheese instead.
Thank you for sharing this with us at #SaucySaturdays Sarah! Pinning!

Tracy | Baking Mischief says
Man, you had me at “toss all of your ingredients into the blender.” Easy recipes are the best, and it doesn’t get much easier than that.
Your Valentine’s Day plans sound like you’re living the dream. Mac and cheese you don’t have to cook and your sweetie? Valentine’s Day perfection. 😉
Sarah says
Thanks, Tracy! Easy recipes > everything else
I’m now writing this post mac n cheese bliss and now I’m well and full. I hope you’re having an equally nice Valentine’s day!
Rhiannon says
Oh my goodness, these sound (and look) amazing. Even though I’m not a fan of bananas, I absolutely love the combination of bananas and almond butter. We’re spending Valentines Day at a wine event followed by a wine makers dinner. Monday might involve a hangover.
Sarah says
Ooooh that sounds like such a fun Valentine’s Day lined up! I’m sure if there are any heachaches come Monday morning (hopefully not) they will have been worth it! Thanks, Rhiannon!
Shreyashi says
Sarah,
I just love the dessert creations you come up with. What a beautiful way of using up 15 minutes. I love how you used your almond butter from the previous post.
Great work 🙂
Sarah says
Thank you, Shreyashi! Coming from you that means a lot 🙂
Tina Marie says
These sound amazing, and so did your concert. We are sticking around the house this Valentine’s cooking up a delicious meal together. Delicious meal, glass of wine and the love of your life – it really doesn’t get much better.
Sarah says
Good food, good drink, and good company – that sounds like my ideal night! Hope you guys have a lovely day!
Megan says
OMGGG I can eat these!! I don’t remember the last time I ate a muffin. Definitely going to try these out for the weekend. I love how you didn’t add too much maple syrup and let them be almost naturally sweet. I’m not huge into super sweet things and my stomach doesn’t take sugar well. Definitely going to try these and I’m also going to try to freeze them so I can have them as a quick snack or breakfast (more so that I don’t eat all of them in one sitting) – but I’ll let you know how the freezing goes! Sorry this comment is like word vomit lol
Sarah says
Yay! I love word vomit – I’m all too familiar with it 🙂 Freezing is such a good idea – let me know how it goes because I’ll probably try that too to ration them out better
