How to make gluten free peanut butter banana muffins vegan
This recipe is easily made vegan by swapping out the honey for maple syrup and the eggs for flax eggs! One of our favorite things about this recipe is how easily it’s modified. So go ahead and make it vegan, or swap out the chocolate chips for raisins, add in some coconut flakes, or just bake as is for a delicious and easy treat 🙂
Happy Sunday and happy peanut butter banana muffins baking. See you all tomorrow for another recipe 🙂
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin cups, and spray the muffin cups with an oil-based spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the bananas, peanut butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt and fold to combine. Add the chocolate chips. Make sure to not over mix.
Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups, filling just shy of the top of the cups. Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F, then, without opening your oven door, turn the oven down to 350°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
*If you don’t have oat flour on hand, you can make your own by placing 1 1/4 cups of oats in a blender or food processor and pulsing until the consistency of flour!
These muffins were delicious! I made a batch and froze them so I had a healthier snack on hand when I was craving something sweet. The only thing I would change to make them ‘healthier’ is less chocolate chips. I’m definitely making these again. Thanks for this recipe.
These are soooooo good!! I’m on a special diet for reflux so I substituted the brown sugar with maple syrup. I also used crunchy PB for a little texture. And carob chips as I can’t have chocolate. Oh. My. Yum!!!!! Thank you for this!
Hi! I just made this and it’s moist and delish! I used the food processor to grind up some whole oats, used 1/4c peanut butter and subbed 1/4c peanut butter for sunflower butter (cuz I ran out of pb), ~1T honey, 1T agave nectar and ~2/3c dark chocolate chips. I would totally make this again and recommend. Oh, I baked it as a loaf! 350 deg for 50 mins. It’s not the tallest loaf in height, but it’s yummy and healthier than some other alternatives. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Jenn! We’ve never tried these with almond flour, so I’m not quite sure. I think you could probably get away with it because the peanut butte and the bananas provide a lot of the structure to the muffins

Oh my goodness thank you for sharing! Happy to hear it works as a loaf too!
Hello, could I use almond flour and if so would it be the same measurement?
Thanks!

Made these today with almond flour and added just a hint of cinnamon. So good! Thanks for the recipe.
That’s great! Thank you for that suggestion. I will attempt that the next time, and if it doesn’t work, the original is delicious regardless.
