5-Ingredient Banana Bread Muffins

Banana Bread Muffins - All you need is a blender or food processor and 5 wholesome ingredients. Naturally gluten free, no refined sugar, and super easy to whip up! 

It’s no secret that I absolutely love banana bread! *Cough Paleo Banana Nut Bread and Brownie Batter Banana Bread Muffins. 

WIth that said, I am completely unapologetic as I whipped up yet another banana bread recipe - banana bread muffins!

This was a fun recipe to create as I had my niece and nephews in mind. Like most parents, mornings feel rushed so I wanted to create a recipe that my sister could make ahead of time so that first thing in the morning, she can warm up or serve cold these muffins with a small pad of butter and eggs on the side and serve it to the kiddos! 

Simple as that! And even if you aren’t a busy mom, this recipe is great for people that are busy in general. Think about it. If you are able to throw 5 measly ingredients into a blender, pour the batter in a muffin tin and walk away for about 15 minutes to come back to freshly baked banana bread muffins, wouldn’t you do it too?!

No refined sugars here! We are only using naturally sweetened sources like bananas and medjool dates. Now, if you add chocolate chips, that is a different story! 

With that said, these muffins are great when paired to a great fat and protein source so here are some great examples of what that could look like as a breakfast or snack option:

Banana Bread Muffins - All you need is a blender and 5 wholesome ingredients. Naturally gluten free, no refined sugar, and super easy to whip up! 

Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free oats

• 1 large ripe banana

• 2 eggs

• ¾ cup pitted whole dates

• 1 tsp baking soda

• *pinch of salt / generous pinch of cinnamon 

Optional: ¼ cup dark chocolate chips if you are feeling crazy

Makes 6 muffins

Directions 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease 6 count muffin tin. 

2. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. 

3. Pour batter into greased muffin tin and top with oats, banana slices, or chocolate chips if you would like. 

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes and enjoy! 

Notes 

1. Store in the fridge for up to a week. 

2. Great to add to your meal prep rotation

3. Dates should be soft but if your dates feel hard when removing the seeds, soften the dates by soaking them in warm water before putting in the blender. This is super helpful if you don’t have the best high powered blender or processor. 

4. *salt and cinnamon don’t make the 5-ingredient cut but they truly elevate the banana bread flavors!
