These easy Banana Nut Muffins are made in a blender, flourless, and a tasty portable breakfast or snack. They’re meal-prep friendly and packed with protein and vitamins, thanks to ingredients like eggs, veggies, and Bob’s Red Mill’s Rolled Oats and Flaxseed Meal.

Blender Banana Nut Muffins

Welcome to muffin week! In partnership with Bob’s Red Mill, we’ve brought you FOUR new muffin recipes, based off of my smash hit blender muffins (you can find the original recipe here) and now we’re ending with the fifth recipe for Luca’s personal favorite, Blender Banana Nut Muffins.

As a parent, you’re constantly making decisions that affect the whole family. Choosing real, whole, and premium ingredients to use in my meals for my family is one decision that’s easy. If you have been following me through my main Inspiralized channel, then you know I’m a huge Bob’s Red Mill fan and now, as a mother of two, I feel even better about the ingredients I use in my cooking, thanks to Bob’s.

These blender muffins have a super easy base recipe: 1oz (or about 1/3 cup) of cooked vegetable, 2 eggs, 1 banana, 3 tablespoons of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Rolled Oats and 1 tablespoon of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal. And to note, make sure the banana is very ripe. Not browned and bruised, but ripe, so that the muffins are sweet enough, since there is no other sweetness added.

Blender Banana Nut Muffins

So technically these blender muffins are banana muffins, because the ingredients literally include a banana, but stirring in nuts and adding that extra slice of heavenly banana on top seals the deal as a Banana Nut flavor. Also, my son is obsessed with bananas, so whenever he sees these with the banana on top, he gets very excited – and it’s a fun way to sneak in nuts without worrying about choking hazards (make sure you really finely chop up those nuts!)

You can make these extra special by stirring some chocolate chips into the final batter to make these Chocolate Chip Banana Nut Muffins, but I think they’re perfect as is! I hope you’ve enjoyed muffin week here on the blog and if you make the muffins, please use the hashtag #inspiralizedmuffinweek so we can share!
