So that’s it. Summer is unofficially over. Technically there are a few more weeks, but all the kids are back in school and the calendar says September. I’m equally ready for fall and not ready to let summer go. How about you?
For all you back to school moms, I’ve got your back. These blender muffins could not be any easier and they take 15 minutes. That’s 15 minutes hot out of the oven, not 15 minutes prep then cook time. Seriously. These healthy mini muffins are only 5 minutes prep and 10 minutes in the oven.
So yes, I already have 15 variations of the blender muffin. Sometimes I don’t know when to stop. This time, it’s a good thing I kept going. I wanted to see if I could make the blender muffin without banana. Apparently there are a lot of people out there who don’t like bananas. I can’t relate, but I’m here to help you out. Take out the banana and sub in apple sauce and guess what? It works! In fact, I think the texture might even be better and more muffin-like than the other flourless blender muffins. These Flourless Apple Peanut Butter Muffins might just become my new go-to.
I still have trouble comprehending how you can mix together these ingredients in a blender, with no flour at all, and end up with a muffin. It’s like magic! Magic for stressed-out moms trying to shake off the relaxed attitude of summer and get back into schedule mode.
For my first trial of these I kept the ingredients super simple. They were good, but needed a little something more. Then I added a few more spices and they were perfect. Your mornings just got easier and tastier.

Instructions

- In a blender, blend all ingredients except the diced apple very well. Stir in the apple (don’t blend it). Fill each muffin cup almost to the top.

You use no flour in the recipe.
Correct–these are flourless muffins!
I made these in regular muffin size cups and reduced the temperature to 350. I baked them for about 20 minutes. They aren’t like a flour muffin, but they tasted delicious after being chilled. A handle of craisins would add a nice touch.
Do you have the nutritional value of this muffin?
Is it possible to make this into one huge cake? Thank you.
Hello! I love your site and this recipe! I included it in a round-up for kid-friendly fall recipes! 🙂 You can see it here: http://momenvy.co/2017/08/kid-friendly-fall-recipes.html
Thank you for including my recipe!
I don’t have a mini muffin pan or even a cupcake pan I was wondering if I could make this into a bread? Like would it work with the ingredients that you are listing
Yes I do think it would work. Another readers said she made it into a cake. You’ll just have to adjust the baking time and bake it a bit longer.
I love how simple tnese are! Perfect for lunch boxes.
YES!! Happy New Year, Paul!
