The best part of my morning is getting to enjoy a cup of coffee and a chocolate banana muffin. I’ve been making ‘healthier’ muffins for years, and I’m not sure why I’ve never posted the recipe, finally here it is!

And Yes, you can totally have these for breakfast because they are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and honey or maple syrup. They are also gluten free, which is why you can make them in the blender and not have to worry about over mixing the batter.

My favorite way to eat chocolate banana muffins is to warm them up a bit till the chocolate melts and top with a dollop of nut butter… So Good! Don’t take my word, you have to try it!

Optional Mix-ins

You can mix extra chocolate chips in the batter and some on top for a more decadent chocolate treat.

Nuts are also a great option!

These Blender Banana muffins can also be made without the cacao powder for just a regular banana muffin. Still delicious!

I prefer to bake my muffins without liners, and once they are done I allow to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Then I get a plastic knife and run it around the muffin tin to loosen it and remove them from the pan.

How to Store Banana Muffins

Once the muffins are removed from the muffin tin, allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

Store muffins in an airtight container either at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for a week.

Muffins can also be stored in the freezer up to 2 months in a freezer bag or air tight container. To reheat place in the microwave for 30 seconds or until hot.

If you want a savory breakfast, these Quiche Cups are also baked in a muffin tin and perfectly portioned for a grab-n-go breakfast.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Spray a muffin tin with oil or line with muffin liners.
  • Place bananas into blender and blend till pureed.
  • Then add all remaining ingredients in order shown. Turn blender on and blend till batter is fully incorporated. Blend for about 30 seconds.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or ⅓ cup measuring cup to scoop out batter into muffin tin and top with chocolate chunks, chips or mini chips.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Do Not over bake or they will become dry and dense. Sometimes I check at 18 minutes just to be sure.
  • Allow muffins to cool in tin for 10 minutes then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
    Store muffins in an airtight container either at room temperature for a couple days or in the refrigerator for a week.
    Muffins can also be stored in the freezer in a freezer bag or air tight container. To reheat place in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Notes

I’ve made these muffins with only almond flour or Rolled Oats. I just prefer the texture of using both Almond Flour and Rolled Oats, but using either or works too.
You can also make these Vegan by substituting Eggs with Flax Eggs.
Make these muffins without cacao powder for a regular banana muffin. Add nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
Muffins can be stored up to 5 days in the refrigerator or frozen up to 2 months.
