Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these 5-Ingredient Flourless Banana Muffins are so delicious and moist, they’ll never miss what’s not in them. Flour-free, dairy-free and insanely tasty, you’ll feel great about serving them to your family!
Flour-Free Never Tasted So Good!
You’ll feel great about serving these Flourless Banana Muffins to your family. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup, they are flour-free, dairy-free and absolutely incredible! Of course, if you want to make truly gluten-free banana muffins, be sure to use gluten-free oats. Either way, the results are YUM.
When I first set out to create a great recipe for flourless baked goods, I had a very clear mission. Make breads and muffins with a few simple ingredients so full of flavor you’ll never miss the flour, butter, oil, sugars or salt they don’t have in them. And y’all, I did it.

Fabulous, Flourless Quick Breads
These flourless quick bread recipes are unbelievably delicious! They’re all easily made in the blender with minimal ingredients and you’d never believe they don’t have any flour, butter, or sugar in them.
The best part? This banana muffin recipe uses just 5 ingredients! No added white or brown sugar, salt, baking powder, specialty gluten-free flours or coconut oil in these yummy snacks. Banana oatmeal muffins are super simple by design, but some tasty add-ins could include nuts like walnuts or pecans, cinnamon, or even mini chocolate chips.
Use your imagination! And, in case simplicity is your thing, skip the bowl and the whisk. With this recipe, there’s no need to stir. You just blend all of the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together in your blender and pour straight into a muffin tin coated in nonstick spray or lined with paper liners.
Is My Banana Ripe Enough to Bake With?
When is a banana ripe enough to bake with? If your banana looks beautiful, yellow, and blemish-free, it’s not ready! The best bananas for baking are so ripe they’re almost black. Soft, mushy, ugly bananas on the verge of being fodder for your compost bin are perfect for baking up some Classic Banana Bread or maybe a Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Bars with a Peanut Butter Oat Streusel.
What Do I Need to Make Flourless Banana Muffins?
- Ripe bananas
- Large eggs
- Pure maple syrup (or honey)
- Baking soda
- Old-fashioned rolled oats
- Muffin tin
- Cooling rack
How to Make Flourless Banana Muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners and set aside.
- Add all ingredients to a blender, in the order listed, and blend just until smooth and well combined.
- Pour batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full.
- Garnish the top of each muffin with a thin round slice of banana, if desired. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
How to Store Flourless Banana Muffins
Store banana muffins in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Or, to freeze them, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, store in the freezer and thaw at room temperature.
The More Muffins, the Merrier
- Blueberry Streusel Muffins: Bursting with fresh blueberries and topped with an irresistible sugar streusel.
- One-Bowl Muffins (Many Ways!): So easy and lets you bake several delicious muffin variations at once. The add-in options are endless! Craving something a teensy bit decadent?
- Nutella Swirled Banana Muffins: Moist banana muffins with swirls of chocolatey Nutella in every scrumptious bite!

hello do you have the nutritional info
Hi, Anoup! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy! ❤️
I have been making these muffins using the loaf recipe for 5+ years and they are the easiest, yummiest treat that I like to eat for breakfast! I always add some chocolate chips 🙂

Hi Hillary! I’m so happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipe as muffins for a while. It’s certainly nice to be able to bake the recipe faster as muffins and I love that you add chocolate chips. I hope you continue to enjoy!
can you make this recipe without eggs and replace flax seed
Hi Kuldip! I couldn’t say for sure because I haven’t tested the recipe with flax seed as a replacement for the eggs. Blending the eggs with the other ingredients is key to the texture of the batter and the way it bakes into tender muffins. It’s certainly worth a try. Let us know if you have success with it. Fingers crossed!
could you provide the nutritional information on the banana muffins
Hi Tresa! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online recipe nutrition calculator like: https://whisk.com/recipe-nutrition-calculator/ Hope this helps. Enjoy! ❤️
Loved these. Made them in the air fryer (320F for 15 minutes) and they turned out beautifully!

Could you use applesauce instead of maple syrup to make these even healthier?
Hi Ashley! I haven’t tested the recipe with applesauce, but it’s certainly worth a try. The texture will probably be moister and they might need to bake a bit longer. I hope they turn you just as great! Enjoy!
Delicious!
This was suuuch a quick and easy recipe! Love that it’s healthy for my little ones. I used maple syrup and date syrup and just eyeballed everything (other than the bananas lol) – I don’t necessarily recommend doing that but mine turned out great! I know adding nuts or chocolate chips would be yummy too. Thanks so much for this recipe!! đź’›
