Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (One Bowl)
My most viral baked recipe with a simple adjustment that absolutely perfects them.
We make these all the time in my house. Obsessed with the peanut butter banana and chocolate combination. This time, I updated the recipe by adding 1/4 cup almond flour to the mix. This recipe, can, at times, be extra gooey. It varies due to the consistency of your bananas and/or your peanut butter.
If you like these, you should definitely try my Flourless Pumpkin Brownie Muffins or my Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins, 5 Ingredient Banana Bread Muffins or my Flourless Banana Oat Muffins.

I had these for the first yesterday. Love loved them. (Actually 2). 😂
Hi Sandy! Glad you liked them! Thank you so much for rating them too!
can all purpose flour or oat flour work too?
I made these right AP flour last night and I can vouch they are amazing and delish!
Thanks for the feedback Rosemarie!! Much appreciated!
Hi Stella, Thanks! I just made these and noticed that the video says “vanilla”, but the print version does not list vanilla……so I did not add the vanilla (I always use the printed copy).
So I am wondering how they will come out… should I add vanilla the next time..?
Hi Ros! Sorry about that .. yes add 1 tsp vanilla but they will still be great! I’m going to revise the list right now. Again, I’m very sorry!
Well…… guess what Stella? My family and I LOVED them even without the vanilla. We ate the whole pan in 1 day. I am making another batch tonight and will try it with vanilla. Thanks for the quick response!!! These muffins are soooooo yummy!!! Perfect for Valentine’s or any other day!!
How much vanilla?
Hi Alison, 1 tsp vanilla
I made these a few days ago. It was easy enough to figure out how much vanilla to use based on some of your other flourless muffins that show up below. These are absolutely delicious. They freeze perfectly and stay super moist. I almost never comment on recipes online but these were just so good, and so easy, that I wanted to let you know I’ve already shared this with so many people (the recipe that is…I’m not sharing the muffins). Looking forward to trying more of your recipes (this was my first!).
Hi Farah! Well that’s a great compliment and thank you for taking the time to comment here! Also, a big thanks for sharing the recipe and site with your friends – that is super appreciated! Hope you enjoy more recipes! Cheers!
Great recipe.
Delicious and super easy
Hi Sylvia! I couldn’t agree with you more!Thank you for the comment and rating!
These muffins are so good! Made them
Exactly as the recipe and wouldn’t change a thing.
Hi Kimberly! Happy to read the feedback! Thank you for the taking the time to comment!
Hi. Can you substitute egg for flax egg? Thks
Hi Emilia, Yes you can sub in a flax egg or 1/4 cup applesauce. Will change the texture of the muffin but definitely works.
I made these yesterday and they were delicious! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes 😋
Hello! I’m so happy these were to your liking! Thank you for the feedback!!
These are Delicious!!!!!!!!
Hi Rebecca! I’m glad you enjoyed them! Thank you!!
These are so tasty! Like little banana bread gluten free bites! Super moist, I had to refrigerate to firm them up a bit but lived eating them straight out of the fridge!
Can they be made with almond butter?
Absolutely!
These are delicious! I love how easy they are to make and how goey they are. Super healthy and super satisfying!! Delicious! Because this is one of my favorite recipes, ever, it made its way to being taped to the inside of my upper kitchen cabinet door where all my favorite recipes are taped! Thank you! 💕
Hi Mary, OHHHH i’m so flattered this made it to your cabinet! And I don’t blame you, this is definitely a keeper!! Thanks for the kind message!
Hello,
Can’t wait to taste these!! In the oven now.
Can anyone a brand of coconut oil spray?
Thanks so much.
Hi Maureen, HOpe you liked the muffins! I use Trader Joe’s coconut oil spray. Or whichver brand is at my Stop n Shop super market.
Many times these recipes taste too healthy for my kiddo, but not these. My whole family loves these. I can’t do Almond Flour so I did 2T of coconut flour and 2T of tiger nut flour because I happen to have those on hand. I’m sure GF all-purpose flour would work well too!
HI Catherine, Perfect substitutes for almond flour! I’m glad the family loved them too! Thank you for the rating!
delicious, fluffy and easy to prepare!!!
Made these and my husband and I immediately inhaled two each as we waited for them to cool… sooo delicious! Gorgeous “springy” texture and super easy to make. Added 2 scoops protein powder & splash of vanilla almond milk per Cost n Mayor’s suggestion (their Insta sent me here) but otherwise made exactly as written, using honey and crunchy natural PB. 10/10 would make again!
Easy and so delicious!!
I made these today and they were so yummy… 🥰 my kids loved them! Definitely making them again… I’m going to look for your other recipes that don’t have nuts so i can make them for school snack 🥰
These are amazing. They’re also super yummy and moist with texture when I add walnuts and golden raisins to the batter. Addicted 🙂
Hi Ana, those add ins sound amazing!
Hi Stella, I made these muffins today and they sunk in the middle 🥲
Should I add 1/2 tsp of baking
powder ? Not sure why they sunk. Uggh
Hi Victoria, they will probably sink a little in the middle because of the ingredients
very tasty and moist..love them!
Hi these are delicious!! How can I store them?
Hi Odelia, I store them on the counter in an airtight container!
Do you store them in the fridge or on the counter?
store on the counter in an airtight container!
These are great! So east to make and Yummy! How long do they last in the fridge in an airtight container?
Hi Cassie, thanks for trying them! They last about 5 days in the fridge!
OMG amazing. My picky kids loved these. 🙂
Hi Leslie, glad everyone enjoyed! thanks for the rating too!
These muffins are out of this world! I have been looking for a good gluten free recipe and these are definitely it. 10/10 would recommend even if you are not gluten free!
Hi Alyssa, thanks so much for the kind rating!
Amazing! Made them today, but with almond butter. So moist and delicious.
Hi Brad, glad you liked the muffins!! Thanks for the rating!
Can I freeze them after I’ve made them? How long would they last in the freezer?
I made this in a loaf tin, so good, had to bake a little longer, extra 5min. The only problem, when I left it to cool, it collapsed in the middle. still good enough to eat.
Hello Mlvo! Mine slightly collapsed too! Its a by product of the flourless recipe and ingredients unfortunately!! Thanks for the kind rating though!!
Can you use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Hi Steph, yes you can!
So I made the muffins and I was taking them out of the muffin tins. They’re super gooey and kind of just fell apart. They are done. Is that the consistency they’re supposed to be
HI Stephanie you gotta let them cool off with this flourless recipe.
Literally fire! Easy and quick to make. My husband loves them. Thank you!
Hi Tiffany, YES – thanks so much for the kind rating and I’m glad you both loved them!
hi! can whole wheat flour be used instead of almond flour?
I just made them tonight omg they are so yummy,but I used coconut flour instead of almond and they were still delicious. So easy and thank you for posting. We will definitely be having this again.
Is the nutrition listed for 1 muffin?? So good!
I 1/2’d the recipe and didn’t really measure but these muffins were delicious! I used a flax egg and it worked out great. You can’t really taste the peanut butter but that’s probably because I didn’t measure. The almond flour adds an “extra” to these muffins and I used a mini muffin tin and baked for 15 min. Thx for a fast and yummy treat!
These were delicious!!
just wondering, how should these be stored??
Your American measurements? Would you consider writing the quantities in metric grams for us Europeans ?
Thanks
Quick and delicious – Perfect for breakfast!
My kids LOVE these just as they are and my mama heart loves them as an alternative to all the sugar filled other breakfast options! Thank you!
I made these without the almond flour and they were gooey, yes, but SO delicious!!!
Absolutely delicious! 2nd time making them. Quick, easy, scrumptious!
Hi Stella! Love your recipes, thank you for sharing! I wonder if this is a quick fix that can be automatized 🙂 I’m in Europe and the metric system does, that recipes take twice the prep time, when I have to google all conversions. You had a ‘metric option on your peanut butter banana bread recipe, could you add it as default on all? It would be immensely appreciated from Denmark.
Have a lovely day!
Hi Georgiana, thank you for the kind message and I will update this recipe right now to show the metrics! The older recipes on my site might be missing that options becuase back then I had not installed the metric system toggle button on the site yet. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! <3
Thank you so much! Wish you happy holidays and a great new year! 🥂
Looking forward to next year’s delicious recipes! 😊
Absolutely delish!! A great healthy snack! Super fast and easy to make ! My family loves them, I can’t make them fast enough😊😋
