I first stumbled upon a version of these flourless magic muffins a few years ago, but when I made them, I was thoroughly unimpressed. Fast forward to last week when I was scrolling through Pinterest, and I again saw a recipe touting the wonders of these muffins. So I decided to tackle these flourless magic muffins and make them to my own (extremely high) breakfast standards.
The star of this recipe for flourless magic muffins, is the nut butter. I strongly recommend making your own nut butters; it is ridiculously easy, cheap, and above all, tastes like a dream. If you’re new to the blog, welcome, and go check out my recipe for homemade nut butter. My favorite combination to date was hazelnut, walnut, almond, pecan, with cinnamon and ginger. Store-bought works just as great, make sure it is the natural kind with just nuts and salt.
The reason I’m calling these flourless magic muffins? Well, because they’re magic, and I don’t have any other words to describe the phenomenon. You will not believe what comes out of the oven. Banana, eggs, nut butter, plus a few other ingredients, turn into bread. I know, it’s crazy. Another great feature? These muffins are super forgiving; I have made these many times without measuring anything, and they always turn out great.
Prep these flourless magic muffins for breakfast, snack, or dessert! And be prepared to devour the entire batch.
