These Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Muffins are quick and easy to make and are a healthy treat!
Please welcome the newest member to my family of blender muffins. Blender muffins have been a staple around here for a long time, and this chocolate version was definitely past due.
These Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Muffins have two special qualities of which none of my other blender muffins can claim.
#1: Theyāre eggless. Yep, totally vegan blender muffins.
#2: They are banana-less. Seriously. I made both things happen in the same muffin!
Now, I have nothing against bananas or eggs. However, I have gotten countless requests and questions about how to make flourless blender muffins without either one or both of these ingredients.
So I figured it out how to take āem both out in one muffin.
Ask and you shall receive, friends. Iām here to serve you. <3
If youāre new to the flourless blender muffin game, let me fill you in a bit. First, find an easier muffin recipe, you will not. You put the ingredients into your blender, turn it on until everything is smooth and creamy, then pour into a muffin tin and bake. SO quick and easy!
Letās talk about the texture. These are muffin-like, but without flour, they lack the structure of a traditional muffin. So you wonāt find a tall, domed top, and they might sink a bit. Donāt let that bother you because they are moist and fudge-y and amazing in every other way.
And what about the flavor? Oh, my, the flavor. These Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins have a rich, deep flavor that is equal parts chocolate and peanut butter.
As youāre eating it, youāll question yourself. How can this possibly be healthy and nutritious? HOW?
They are THAT GOOD.
Your kids? They will 100% accept these as dessert. But donāt feel bad if you serve them for breakfast.
The ingredients list is totally breakfast-worthy.Ā 0 flour and 0 refined sugar. Weāve got peanut butter, cocoa powder, and apple sauce as our main ingredients. They are sweetened with maple syrup, which is full of important minerals! Yep, passes the breakfast test for me.
Need to make these Paleo-friendly? Use almond butter in place of the peanut butter and either leave off the chocolate chips or use super dark chocolate chips. (Those are Paleo-approved, right? Not claiming to be a Paleo expert over hereā¦)
Whatever you do, do NOT wait to make this recipe!!

Do you know the nutritional facts of these muffins? Thx
Mine fell??
Yes, without flour they do fall after cooling. This is normal and doesn’t affect the taste!
These were amazing and so easy to make.
★★★★★
I make these EVERY week for a treat! They’re the best!
★★★★★
Love these! But I need help mone are always so undercooked just in the middle I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong? I can’t leave them in the oven any longer because they are so cooked on the outside. Any help is much appreciated
★★★★★
These are so good! Easy to make and taste delicious! My favorite flourless muffin recipe I have tried yet!
★★★★★
So happy to hear that. Thanks!
I make a batch (or double) at least once a week!!!! Being a waste not want not person I use the blender remnants for my protein shake the next day. I’ve found using a tad less applesauce and tad more nut butter they’re more sturdy in the middle. BUT… have you ever tried this recipe as a base for a “layered pie”? I’m wanting to try something for church function (maybe a vegan cheesecake w/ brownie base). Just wondering how this would work and if so how long in the oven ;D
★★★★★
Hi do you know the nutritional information?
Thank you
Best muffin recipe I’ve made by far. I’m not even a chocolate person and I had to stop myself from eating all of these at once. They taste like the most amazing gooey brownies – you wouldn’t even be able to tell they were flourless and vegan. Can’t say enough praise for these! Definitely going to go through other recipes on this website and try them out!
★★★★★
Thanks for your feedback Olivia!
Great, easy recipe. Mine originally were sticking to the cupcake paper, so I put them back in to the oven for another five minutes and they were fine. They seemed to start pulling away from the muffin tin when they are ready to be taking out of the oven.
★★★★★
Great feedback! Thanks Michelle!
Iāve made these muffins several times and my family loves them! The only thing I donāt like about it is scraping every last ounce out of the blender. Until I decided to make a milk shake with it. I just added a couple bananas and some milk, yum! Thanks for the recipe.
Oh what a great idea! I love that!
So… the middles of these did not rise. I made 36 and they all stuck to the muffin tins and I can’t get them out. Super disappointed because I was supposed to give these out as part of an event.
I’m really sorry that happened. Two thoughts–the middles don’t really rise much on these flourless muffins. Notice my pictures; the middles are a little low. That’s because without flour they don’t hold their structure well. As far as them sticking, I have no problem getting them out but I normally use silicone muffin liners. What did you use? If not, you’d need to oil and flour the muffin tin to keep them from sticking. It’s also really important that you wait for them to cool completely before trying to remove them from the muffin tin. Again, I’m sorry these didn’t work out for you.
Do you think I can use 2 bananas instead of applesauce?
Yes!
These are excellent made with sunbutter! My son who is allergic to everything loves them and his friends with no allergies love them, too. One caution, don’t overfill the muffin cups. They grow!
