These muffins are an absolute staple in our household, I make them once a week! They also freeze really well if you want to bake a batch ahead of time.

You may be thinking “who has time to bake once a week?” This recipe uses pantry staples and minimal dishes as everything’s tossed in a blender. They’re grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free depending on which chocolate chips you use. They have a nice spongey texture and taste similar to banana bread.

Grain Free Almond Butter muffins

PREP TIME: 5 MINS

COOK TIME: 15 MINS

TOTAL TIME: 20 MINS

SERVINGS: 12 MUFFINS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas peeled
  • 1 cup of plain unsalted almond butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Optional: top with dairy free mini chocolate chips

 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with vegan butter or coconut oil.
  2. Add everything to a blender except for the chocolate chips
  3. Divide the batter between 12 muffins, top with chocolate chips
  4. Bake for 15-17 mins until a toothpick comes out clean
  5. Allow to cool in muffin tin for about 10 mins before transferring to a cooling rack

Notes: I like using a few of the “Enjoy Life” mini dairy free chips. I have also used the PASCHA organic dark chocolate baking chips with zero sugar.
