It’s time to ask you the question: have you ever tried making muffins in your blender? Well, in my opinion, it is actually the easiest way to make muffins.

Clean-up is also fast and easy, given that everything is mixed together in your blender.

These muffins are both healthy and simple to make. They are actually a fun after-school snack for the kids.

I also eat them as snacks oftentimes. Actually, one of my favorite morning snacks is a healthy muffin, a handful of almonds, and a cup of coffee or tea.

As previously mentioned, these simple, healthy banana muffins freeze well, and this quality makes them excellent for meal prep.

You can even make a batch and freeze the leftovers in a zip-top bag for simple breakfasts and snacks.

As you are aware, these gluten-free banana oatmeal muffins are made with oats instead of wheat flour.

If you are serving the muffins to people who suffer from gluten intolerance, you need to make sure that you use certified gluten-free oats, given that some oats might contain a small amount of gluten.

These flourless oatmeal banana muffins are also dairy-free, but this is only as long as you use dairy-free chocolate chips or leave the chocolate chips out.

These muffins are still so delicious, even without the chocolate. They are made with just ¼ cup of honey or pure maple syrup, but the ripe bananas add plenty of natural sweetness.

But you might want to wonder about the texture of these healthy blender banana muffins; well, they are rather similar to baked oatmeal.

They are tender and come with an almost custard-like texture, but not in a weird way.

You can actually expect their texture to be different compared to your usual banana bread or muffin made with wheat flour, given that they are flourless.

I can assure you that you will love the taste and texture and the small bits of oats in these muffins, which are also mouth-watering.

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 3 ripe, medium bananas
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1/3 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips (You can use mini chocolate chips.)
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 2 cups of old-fashioned oats
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup of honey or pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup of almond milk

Laid-Out Instructions

• First, you are to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray the muffin tin with cooking spray. You can use coconut oil spray for this or set 12 silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet.
• After that, get the blender and place the bananas, eggs, almond milk, old-fashioned oats, honey, or pure maple syrup, vanilla, and baking soda in it. Proceed to blend until they become well blended but not completely smooth. Ensure there are still some small pieces of oats in the batter.
• That being done, add the chocolate chips and blend for a few seconds in order to mix them in.
• Proceed to divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. You can pour the batter directly into your blender. You can use a small rubber spatula to catch the drips between muffin cups.
• Now, bake for 15 to 17 minutes until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then carefully transfer it to a wire rack in order to finish the cooling. A mini spatula helps to remove the muffins without scratching them.
• As previously mentioned, muffins freeze well, and you can freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months.

Kid-Friendly and Gluten-Free Options

The banana, high-fiber, and vegetarian ingredients naturally sweeten these flourless oatmeal muffins.

These flourless oatmeal muffins are a great snack or breakfast for kids, even toddlers because they are healthy and also do not contain nuts, which can pose a choking hazard for small children.

You can top these banana muffins with chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds if you aren’t on a nut-free diet and are not feeding a toddler.

Also, ensure that you use gluten-free oats if you are on a gluten-free diet, given that regular oats are often processed in the same facilities as wheat and thus can be contaminated with gluten.

What to Serve with Banana Oatmeal Muffins

These banana oatmeal muffins are a hearty snack for both toddlers and adults and everyone in between.

Below are a few ideas of what to serve with banana oatmeal muffins for a full breakfast:

Smoothie

I consider smoothies to be superpowers in a cup. You can go with a green smoothie, which is a great way to start your day off strong.

Eggs

You can always serve your muffins with Instant Pot boiled eggs or an egg white frittata for more of a protein punch.

Smoothie Bowl

This is a fun variation on a smoothie. It is sprinkled with favorite toppings and then scooped with a spoon instead of sipped through a straw.

Storage Tips

To store, just proceed to place the muffins in a paper towel-lined, airtight container. After that, you can store them at room temperature on the counter for up to 4 days.

And, to freeze, wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap and proceed to place them in an airtight freezer-safe storage container, which will make them last for up to 2 months.

Final Thoughts on Oatmeal Banana Muffins Without Flour Recipe

As previously mentioned, you can proceed to use certified gluten-free oats to make muffins gluten-free.

You can substitute other types of milk based on your preference. In order to keep the muffins dairy-free, just use non-dairy milk.

You can also use dairy-free chocolate chips if you want to make these muffins dairy-free, and use very ripe bananas for the best flavor, as they are the sweetest.
