Have you ever had Blender Banana m=Muffins? If yes, you are sure to love this quick version. If not! You are in for a fab snack treat.
There is no pleasure like biting into muffins first thing in the morning. Bonus points if they are healthy (but don't taste like one)!
Our Muffins today are no different. Naturally sweetened, flourless, no oil, zero refined sugar. But you'd never guess it, I bet!
Lets find out what hides in them.
Recipe ingredients:
- Zucchini: Makes blender muffins so moist. So I went for it for this flourless muffin recipe. I do have healthy banana muffins on blog with no zucchini. And you can't taste vegetable in these muffins (just in case you are wondering).
- Oats: Powdered to make oats flour. Use certified gluten free oats if gluten sensitive.
- Honey: To sweeten the muffins.
- Almond Butter: Adds a ton of goodness to them. Also eliminates the need to add extra fat.
- Ripen Banana: For lift, flavor and moisture.
- Egg: For binding and structure.
- Flax seeds: For added goodness.
- Chocolate Chips: Do you really need a reason?
How to make Muffins in a blender?
Before we get into the process, let me tell you these are the simplest muffins ever. And yield a tender, fluffy and moist bake! I also love flourless blender muffin ideas from Cream de la crumb.
- All you need to do is blend all your ingredients using a high speed/regular blender. Pour the batter into liners and bake. Yep it is that easy!
- But if you don't have ground oats flour on hand. You can blend dry ingredients first and add wet ones to it then.
What if I don't want to use a blender at all?
- No problem. Simply sift your dry ingredients together.
- Then stir in your wet ones, grated zucchini and you are all set.
These muffins have a tendency to stick to the liners. Remember no oil? 😉 I recommend using parchment paper liners or greasing your muffin pan well.
Or you can spray regular liners too, does the job!
Are you ready to bake this guilt free snack that tastes like a moist banana-zucchini cake? It's exactly like having your healthy bowl of oats in muffin form!
