Delicious and Easy Flourless Blender Muffin Recipe
Post written by Debbie Chialtas
I am a huge fan of Pinterest. It has been such a life saver for finding gluten-free recipes! When I found a recipe for these simple and fast grain-free, flourless muffins, I had to try it. I've tweaked the original here and there, and now these are a family staple! Simply throw the ingredients in a blender or use your stick blender, pop in the oven, and you'll have muffins in 15 minutes!
Delicious and Easy Flourless Blender Muffins
Makes approximately 8 muffins
Prep and baking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 egg
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky – your choice)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking soda
Optional: ½ cup of things to mix in such as chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, or berries
Preheat oven to 400°. Put 8 or 9 muffin papers in a muffin pan, or use non-stick muffin pan.
In a bowl or a blender carafe, combine all ingredients except items to mix in. Blend until smooth.
Portion batter into muffin papers filling 2/3 full. Now add 1 – 2 teaspoons of toppings to each one, stirring with a skewer to distribute.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until risen and a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the middle.
Allow to cool and enjoy! Store covered at room temperate for 1-2 days.
