Paleo Gluten Free Blender Banana Muffins
Fluffy paleo banana muffins made in the blender- in 5 minutes! Easy gluten free and paleo banana muffin recipe made with cauliflower! Best healthy paleo-diet breakfast banana muffins.
Super light and fluffy flourless banana muffins made with healthy ingredients!
I still can’t believe these paleo banana muffins have cauliflower in them, suuu goood.
Introducing: the gluten free banana muffin recipe you will want to make over and over again.
When you make life-changing muffins, you don’t hog them to yourself- you share them with the world.
Or do you?….
Um, I might have just stuffed cauliflower into a banana bread muffin recipe. Is that even legal?
If not, it is now, because these muffins are insane, you guys!
So, SO good! And you WOULD NEVER KNOW they have cauliflower in them!!!
I even fed them to my Dad, who loved them and had no clue they had cauliflower in them- until I told him.
His response was: “I hate cauliflower, but I love those muffins!”.
I’ll take that as a win for team caulipower!
Cauliflower ads a hint of moistness to this recipe, making these muffins light, fluffy, and moist on the inside. Yum, oh YUM!
Drenched in chocolate chips and banana flavor, these muffins are reaching un-real healthy levels and the yumometer is there people.
gluten free + cauliflower = best muffins!
If the only way to get your kids to eat veggies is disgusting them- these are the muffins for you- and your kids, if you have any. 🙂
Baking batches of muffins, stuffed with secretly healthy ingredients makes me feel like a boss, not gonna lie.
I could bake and eat cauliflower banana muffins all day if you let me, but that wouldn’t be fair to all the Thai salads in the world, a.k.a the other half of my heart.
I’m not turning back after cracking the code on making super-moist-want-to-make-again muffins!
You can make ahead and freeze these muffins!
One of my favorite ways to store foods in the freezer is these awesome reusable storage bags.

How many cups is equal to 3 bananas? I will attempt this recipe…but with ALL cauliflower. Yes. ALL cauliflower.
Thanks!
Oh gosh, that’s ambitious Monika! 🙂 I always love a good experiment, but these won’t taste the same with ALL cauliflower and they will be a LOT more liquidy- I don’t know that it will turn out, but I’m curious! If you give it a go, I would try swapping for 3/4-1 cup cauliflower rice.
Will let you know…but seriously – how many cups is 3 mashed bananas? Do you know?
I would say it’s probably 1 1/2 cups.
These sound great! I’m wondering how you measured to raw cauliflower. I’m assuming it was riced?
Hi Michelle, I chop it up or rice it. 🙂
I made these last night, I used oat flour because I was out of almond flour and didn’t realize until it was too late and I was out of chocolate chips so I just roughly chopped some dark chocolate from Trader Joes and then I sprinkled it with roughly chopped walnuts. My husband was skeptical when I told him there was cauliflower in it but he ate two for breakfast this morning so I guess he changed his mind… #SoDelicious
Love to hear that Katy! 🙂
Can I use frozen cauliflower rice?
Hi Anna, maybe- it might have more liquid content, but it should work.
These look delicious! About to make them! Do you store leftovers in the fridge or are they good on the counter for a few days?
I store the leftovers all three ways- counter, fridge, freezer. 🙂 On the counter for the first day or two then in the fridge or freezer- depending on when I plan on eating them.
Is this nutrition for 6 muffins or 12? I see someone else had a similar question but the answer said one regular muffin, but that could mean small or large depending on who’s asking, can you please specify, thank you!
Hi Meridith, the nutrition is for one regular size muffin.
Hi Kaylie,
any sub for coconut sugar? like maple syrup? I have all ingredients at home except coconut sugar.
Btw your recipes looks amazing and can’t wait to try them all.
Hi Rena, you can use regular sugar, brown sugar, or date sugar in place of coconut sugar. 🙂
Hi I’m going to make these for myself to have for breakfast whilst I start placement on Monday! How many days will they last in the fridge?
Hi Natalie, I am not sure how many days they are good in the fridge for, I usually put them in the freezer after two days.
These came out delicious! I made some regular muffins as well as minis. I cooked the minis for 18 minutes and the regulars for 25 minutes. Rather than coconut sugar I used monkfruit. It tastes delicious and they are kid approved. Also, I only had blanched almond flour, and it worked fine. I’m planning to try some other flours next time since I’m trying to switch to more ethically grown flours. I will update with my results. One problem with the recipe, it doesn’t state to stir in the chocolate chips, but I figured it out.
Thank you Heather!! And I’ll make a note about the chocolate chips- thanks for letting me know. 🙂
What is a “serving” considered on the nutritional information
Hi Kelli, a serving is one muffin. 🙂
What is one serving of these? I see the nutrition facts, but is that per small muffin or bakery-style muffin?
Hi Jessi, the nutritional info is for one reg. muffin. 🙂
Hi! can you sub cauliflower for something else?
Hi Clara, you could sub for more banana or applesauce and see how that works. 🙂 I haven’t subbed it for anything, so I can’t say for sure, but it should work totally fine! 🙂 Enjoy!
My family loves these muffins! I substitute peanut butter for almond butter and raw honey for coconut sugar. These have become a weekly staple and a double recipe is always necessary! Thank you!!
So glad you love them Ali!
These muffins look amaaaaazing…will try the recipe during the weekend. Ali, did you do a 1:1 swap of coconut sugar to honey ?
I have made many gluten free, grain free muffins. These are by far the best. I didn’t have raw cauliflower or coconut sugar, but I had frozen cauliflower rice and honey and used those. Still great! This will be my go to recipe! Thank you!
Thank you so much Denae!
I just wanted to double check on the chocolate chips… Do we not mix them in and only use them for topping? Thanks 😊
That’s right! Just for topping. 🙂
I just tried this but with coconut flour. My “batter “ turned out really dry, more like a dough. Is that normal? I’m new to paleo and alternative baking ingredients so I am not sure what is normal plus I’m not great at baking to begin with, lol. Any tips?
Hi Megan, coconut flour absorbs a ton of water, so you it’s not a good sub unless you use 1:4 ratio. 🙂 That’s why it was really dry, next time use 1/4 the amount called for and it should be okay! The texture will still be different, but it won’t be as dry. 🙂
