These banana nut blender muffins are the perfect way to start your day. With no flour, oil, butter or added sugar, this recipe is “Healthyish” at its finest.

Ingredients Needed for Banana Nut Blender Muffins
Oats – You’ll need whole grain rolled oats for this recipe. DO NOT use steel cut or any other type of oats. Add the rolled oats to the blender and buzz them until a powder forms. You might have a few small pieces of oat in the powder which is fine.
Baking Soda / Salt – You’ll need baking soda as your leavening agent, and salt to active it.
Bananas – For this recipe, you’ll need 2-3 very ripe bananas depending on size. Make sure the skin is very brown on the outside. This will give your muffins a delicious natural sweetness. It also makes the muffins very soft and fluffy.
Eggs – For this recipe, you’ll need two fresh eggs.
Applesauce – For this recipe, you’ll need sweetened cinnamon applesauce. Option to use regular too. However, the cinnamon adds a little extra flavor to the muffins.
Milk – You’ll need 2% milk for this recipe.
Vanilla – Add a touch of vanilla for some depth of flavor.
Dates – Add 5-6 pitted dates to this recipe. The dates add texture and natural sweetness.
Maple Syrup – For this recipe, you’ll need maple syrup. Be sure to use the good stuff.
Walnuts – Crush some fresh walnuts and sprinkle them over the muffins before adding them to the oven.

Okay I literally just made these for breakfast this morning and they are amazing! They came out so flavorful and moist!! I was so happy they were not grainy or dry like some oat based baked goods can be.
I made these today and they were YUM. Moist and delish.
These were a hit! So easy to make using a blender. I didn’t have walnuts so used chopped pecans for the top… delicious ! Will make again for sure!
