My cookbook is here! 
These banana bread muffins are a great flourless and refined sugar free breakfast or snack. All you need is 5 ingredients and a blender.
This recipe is as simple to make as a smoothie. Toss all your ingredients in your blender and process until smooth yet chunky. The dates will represent the chunk part. You can sub in oat flour, chop the dates up and mix this in a bowl if you don’t have a blender or food processor.
The texture is superb for such few ingredients and no flour or refined sugar. The banana acts as a binder, sweetener and gives the muffins their moisture. The dates add a little bit of natural sweetness. You can absolutely skip the chips on top and still be happy with this. Such a big fan of this recipe from Pinch of Yum!

I had some bananas getting too old eat so I made these today! They are completely amazing!!! Soooo Delicious! Best of all, they are gluten free and my hubby can enjoy them too. (only change was Instead of cinnamon I put in Chinese 5 spice, which has cinnamon in it.)
Hi Eileen, that’s awesome.. I’m so glad you both enjoyed the recipe!

Hi, I think this is wrong in grams, it shouldn’t be more than 200grams.

Great recipe! Are the chocolate chips folded into the batter or placed on top after baking?
I made this today for my son to take as snacks to school for the week and it was absolutely delicious. I like that it doesn’t use flour and sugar which makes it healthier than the regular muffin. i included chocolate chips, raisins and chopped walnuts as toppings. my son loved it.
Hi Favour, that’s fantastic that your son enjoyed them! I also thank you for sharing the feedback with us!
Hi,
Are they freezable?
I love this recipe! But my husband doesn’t like bananas. What can I replace it with?
Hi Claudia, You should try the apple muffins. Same base recipe but instead of bananas you’re gonna utilize those apples. I actually prefer it to the banana version. Hope you guys enjoy! LInk below:
