These 5-Minute Blender Paleo Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips and Coconut are seriously one of the best and easiest paleo muffin recipes I’ve made!
Okay I think I’ve really discovered something special with these Paleo banana muffins.
I’ve said it before (about a thousand times) and I’ll say it again: I might be the world’s worst baker. There’s just something about the precision of baking that isn’t for me.
I can throw stuff together for dinners all day, but when it comes to measuring things and baking them just right, I always find a way to mess it up.
That’s part of the reason why I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot with these 5-Minute Blender Paleo Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips and Coconut.
Basically, these are the easiest Paleo muffins to ever exist. All you have to do is throw the ingredients in a blender and blend up the batter. Then, pour in a muffin tin (or bread pan) and bake!
I added chocolate chips and shredded coconut to mix things up, but feel free to add whatever you want or leave them out entirely.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I’m right in the middle of wisdom teeth removal recovery.
I don’t really have a desire to eat anything because of the pain in my jaw and teeth, so I knew I needed to whip up something that would make the pain worth it.
These blender muffins were the perfect solution because they literally took 5 minutes to make, and they are DELICIOUS.
I cut one up into teeny tiny pieces (enough to fit in my barely-open mouth), and let the bites just chill in there until they disintegrate enough to swallow without chewing.
I realize this is gross, but it was so worth it because these were a welcome treat amidst my pain and discomfort.
When it comes to Paleo baking, I think it’s important to get familiar with the texture of grain-free muffins.
The texture is a bit more spongey and super moist compared to regular muffins, which I actually quite enjoy.
The taste of these is truly amazing. Make sure you use super ripe bananas for extra natural sweetness.
I love this recipe because it calls just for almond flour, which I always have on hand. (Instead of having to have both almond and coconut flour).
If you’re following a strict Paleo diet, omit the chocolate chips or cut up a compliant chocolate bar into chunks.
For these, I use dark chocolate chips or Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips.
Although I’ve made some great Paleo dessert recipes (like this banana bread, copycat Twix bars, apple cookies, and a fudgy chocolate skillet cake), I think this one might be my new favorite because of its simplicity and delicious taste.
I can’t wait to try more versions with different flavors added in!
This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite food bloggers, Paleo Gluten Free Eats.
I hope you enjoy this recipe for 5-Minute Blender Paleo Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips and Coconut as much as I do.
Now I’m off to ice my face and eat more Jello.
