All you need for the 5 Ingredient Blender Muffins is peanut butter, bananas, eggs, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, then honey, vanilla and chocolate chips are optional , but of course I always add them in for extra sweetness. Everything goes into the blender, except the chocolate chips and mix it together.
Now all you have to do is stir in the chocolate chips if you decide to use them (I like to use Enjoy Life Brand to keep this recipe dairy free and gluten free) and pour the batter into the greased muffin pan. Bake and enjoy! Be sure to make 5 Ingredient Blender Muffins recipe soon, because you will get hooked on them and they are healthy grain free and dairy free choice for your whole family! They have become a Sunday morning must have breakfast in our home.
We do find that using a Vitamix or Ninja seem to work best with this recipe. If you mash your bananas separately then add the other ingredients to the blender it seems to blend easier and won’t cause the ingredients to clump.

I love food and have been on a mission to find out how to make allergy free foods like this yummy looking desert. Have you ever used this http://amzn.to/1UrBvd3 in your recipe? will it work or will it mess it up? I don’t want to waste anymore money trying out things that fall apart! thank you!
I haven’t used that but I have used a banana instead of eggs and I have used 2 tbsp cornstarch = 1 egg. Hope that helps!
If needing an egg replacement I recommend aquafaba. It’s from the thick juice in beans. Such as white northern beans. Three TB per egg needed. Best of luck!
How much chocolate chips do you use if you use them?
As many as you want. 1/2 cup would do.
Any idea what the calorie count is?
Looks like a great recipe!
I just made these, except I made 8 muffins instead of 6 (I don’t have a large muffin pan, just the regular size) and added all the optional items (including 3/4 cup chocolate chips). Calorie count was 344 each, and that’s mostly fat. I did use Jif peanut butter, so I don’t know if you’ll get a better count if you use another, more natural, brand.
Delicious!! This is my go to recipe for muffins. Less sugar too than other recipes I’ve tried but more than sweet enough. I’ve made it apple cinnamon by skipping the chocolate chips and added Apple pieces and cinnamon.
I am allergic to peanuts what can be substituted for peanut butter.
Please let me know
Thank you
Rhonda
You can use almond butter.
What can you use instead of peanut butter for NUT allergy version?
Can you use Sunbutter? Or Wowbutter?
Any suggestions for substitutions for the banana?
Thanks!!
You should be able to replace 1 banana with 1/2 cup of applesauce but you never want to use more than 1 cup of applesauce in an entire recipe, so you’ll need to keep that in mind. Another option is silken tofu, or a yogurt, but you might need to scale back your applesauce. Only adding as much as necessary to get the mixture to the right wetness. (Dry batter is never good).
My mom substitutes pumpkin for the bananas and says it works great. Hope that helps.
Thank You!
I made these yesterday and can I just say they are the best! Sooo easy and quick. I made them after dinner and everyone was so impressed haha. I’ve been looking for muffins I can make easily that are gluten free and no refined sugar. And I can’t believe they have the same texture as normal flour based muffins. Thank you for the great recipe.
These were so yummy! Do you think if I mixed using a stand mixer or by hand rather than blending they wouldn’t flatten out so much? I was thinking it was maybe because so much air is beaten in by the blender?
Yes, I do think so. Glad you enjoyed them!
Can these be frozen or refrigerated and reheated later? Thank you. 🙂
Yes! Both 🙂
These were amazing! Had a craving for something sweet after dinner and these hit the spot perfectly. Only difference was that I used a half cup of peanut butter and a half cup of walnut/cashew butter, only because I ran out of the peanut butter; and I used a few stevia vanilla drops instead of honey. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
Hello! Can I freeze the batter then thaw and bake it later? Thanks!
No, it would be best to bake and then freeze.
These are great! Thanks to the other reviewers for giving me the courage to try them. Definitely prefer chunky peanut butter to creamy for these. Only substitutions are to use the mixer instead of the blender and carob chips instead of chocolate.
These were totally scrumptious! Thank you sooo much….We are just starting out gluten/dairy free and it’s been tough for my 18 yr old son…He devoured them!
Can you use cacoa nibs instead of chocolate chips?
I might try a 50/50 mix.
I wonder if I could add fresh strawberries instead of chocolate chips? I realize it wouldn’t be as sweet, but berry muffins are a staple around here lol
I think so!
Is there a substitute for the apple cider vinegar (or can it be optional)?
You can use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Would you recommend adding protein powder to these? If so is there any measurements I should change to accommodate the new dry ingredient?
Hmmm – that would be a nice addition – not sure of the substitution though.
I tried these today and they am excited at how well they turned out! I followed the recipe exactly except for the honey, since we were out of it. They had a wonderful taste and texture. Healthy, quick, and easy! Thank you for the recipe!
This recipe is my go to snack for my youngest son. I am not a baker and this is so simple! It’s really helped me pack his school lunch and I cannot thank you enough for the recipe that broke his little bites obsession! I make these twice a week 🙂
Did you use a jumbo muffin pan for these since the recipe only makes 6 muffins?
No just a regular size.
what can I substitute instead of peanut butter?
Sunflower butter
If I refrigerate these do you think they’ll last the whole week? I’d like to make them on a Sunday and have 1 each day for the rest of the week
Yes, if you refrigerate them 🙂
Can you use natural peanut butter?
Yes!
what can I use to make these muffins a little more moist?
Applesauce 🙂
i loved them
I do a low carb diet, how many carbs are in each one without the honey?
I’ve made these muffins twice so far but with my hand mixer because I think something is wrong with my Vitamix. My husband loves them. The first time I followed the recipe and added chocolate chips. The next time I doubled the recipe, added choc chips and did half peanut butter, half almond butter since I found the PB taste too overpowering in the first batch. I liked them much better with almond butter as well, too bad it’s so expensive! Overall I think this is a great recipe and they’re very moist.
These muffins are SO delicious and very easy to make too. I used a 12 cupcake tin so they were smaller but just as good and will last longer (maybe!!)
Just curious if you would recommend using mini muffin tins or not?
Oh yes, that would be fine to use 🙂
I am making these now…
I followed the recipe but mine came.out a little mushy and sunken, they were not fluffy like regular muffins. Tr batter was very runny before I poured in the pans, could that be why?
You may have had a little too much liquid (if your bananas were super large).
These are so yummy!! I think I’ll use almond butter next time and put some.blueberries in them for a different twist. Thank you for sharing such a yummy, healthy recipe. 😊
What can I use instead of peanut butter? Have nut and seed allergy.
Can you use Sunbutter?
