How to make Blender banana coffee cake muffins
Ingredients:
- Bananas
- Almond flour: There is no 1:1 substitute for almond flour in this recipe, besides cashew flour.
- Oat flour: If you cannot have oats, you can substitute a 1:1 gluten free flour. See notes in recipe card!
- Maple syrup: You can also use honey or agave. Any sticky sweetener will work.
- Coconut sugar: Golden monk fruit is a great sugar free option. You can also use brown sugar if you’re not looking for these to be refined sugar free!
- Rolled Oats
- Vanilla extract, cinnamon, sea salt
- Chopped nuts: I like pecans or walnuts, but any nut works!
- Powdered monk fruit sweetener: I like Lakanto as it tastes just like powdered sugar. If you’re not refined sugar free, you can use regular powdered sugar!
Instructions
- Make the muffins: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Make the crumble: Mix together all of the crumble ingredients in a small bowl.
- Assemble the muffins: Divide the batter amongst a greased or lined cupcake pan. Then divide the crumble on top, slightly pressing it into the top of the batter.
- Bake! Mix together the drizzle ingredients and drizzle the muffins once cooled.
How to store leftover banana coffee cake muffins
Store these in an air-tight container on the counter for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 10 days, and in the freezer for a few weeks!
faq’s
- How to make vegan banana muffins: I haven’t tested it, but you can try substituting flax eggs for eggs. Mix together 1 tablespoon ground flax seed with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then use as an egg. This makes one egg!
- How to make moist banana muffins: Be sure not to over-bake! Check the muffins at the lesser amount of time, as all ovens can vary!
- Banana bread with two bananas: This banana bread only requires two bananas but you want to make sure they are super brown and spotty as this will create the sweetest bread!
- Can you make the streusel topping without oats? Yes! You can try using more nuts in place of the oats.

Notes
Store these in an air-tight container on the counter for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 10 days, and in the freezer for a few weeks! *I highly recommend using the brand One Degree Organics Sprouted Oats. These are certified gluten free and go through rigorous testing. However, you can sub 1/2 cup 1:1 gluten free flour. They come out pretty close in texture!
