Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Muffins (Vegan and Gluten-Free)

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: They’re 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 ‘em both out in one muffin.

Ask and you shall receive, friends. I’m here to serve you. <3

If you’re 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!

Let’s talk about the texture. These are muffin-like, but without flour, they lack the structure of a traditional muffin. So you won’t find a tall, domed top, and they might sink a bit. Don’t 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 you’re eating it, you’ll 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 don’t feel bad if you serve them for breakfast.

The ingredients list is totally breakfast-worthy.  0 flour and 0 refined sugar. We’ve 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 here…)

Whatever you do, do NOT wait to make this recipe!!
