\"flourless<\/img><\/div><\/div>We\u2019re a few days into 2014, and all I can ask is: how\u2019s the new year been treating you so far? \u00a0Have you stuck to your resolutions? \u00a0It\u2019s only been 8 days, but\u2026things happen, right? \u00a0Here at our house, things have definitely been different from last year, at least in terms of our diet. \u00a0Going grain-free is definitely a challenge, but a great one! \u00a0We\u2019ve been eating as close to nature as possible for as long as I can remember, but eating a solely plant- and fruit-based diet minus the grains is keeping us all on our toes\u2026<\/p>\n

Which is why I\u2019m absolutely thrilled to bring you these flourless peanut butter banana muffins! Flourless, moist, springy, not-too-sweet, eat \u2019em anytime muffins. I\u2019ve been trying different things to adapt our favorite recipes to a grain-free version, and using almond and coconut flours is helpful, but to not have to use any flour at all to create a scrumptious muffin is sheer joy.<\/p>\n

Not only do you not need flour for these muffins, you don\u2019t even need a bowl to make them. \u00a0All you need is a few ingredients and a blender (or a food processor). \u00a0Yup, that\u2019s it. \u00a0You put all the ingredients in the blender (in my case, my trusty NutriBullet), blend \u2019em all up, and you\u2019ve got muffin batter. \u00a0Add a few toppings, and you\u2019ve got yourself a great muffin.<\/p>\n

Try playing around with the flavors, too. \u00a0Add a little cocoa powder for a chocolate peanut butter version, or use almond butter and coconut extract with some chocolate chips for an almond joy muffin. \u00a0If you\u2019re feeling naughty, go ahead and break out the Nutella. \u00a0We won\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n

Who needs flour, anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Muffins<\/h3>\n

Makes 12<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1 cup peanut butter (or any other kind of nut butter)<\/li>\n
  • 2 eggs<\/li>\n
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed<\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup toppings of choice (chocolate chips, shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or a combination)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0, and line a 12-cup cupcake tray with paper liners, and set aside.<\/p>\n

    Combine all the ingredients except for the toppings in a blender or food processor (I used my NutriBullet), and blend until well-combined, about 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Use a kitchen scoop to divide the muffin batter evenly between the 12 lined muffin cups. \u00a0Top each muffin with the desired toppings, and bake at 400\u00b0 for 16-18 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown.<\/p>\n

    Let cool slightly, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
