Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

So quick and easy, these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins are a perfect for make ahead breakfast for you or the kids.  Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free, too – perfect for the 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers! This post contains affiliate links to products I’m obsessed with.

I’ve been wanting to make a blender muffin for quite some time now.  While there are TONS on Pinterest, so many of them call for Greek yogurt, and because my son is dairy free, we could never make them.

And while I love to cook, I definitely wouldn’t call myself a baker.  But I have a couple very popular recipes on my blog for breads and muffins…Banana Bread and Baked Oatmeal Cups, I’m looking at YOU!

A bag of Bob's Red Mills Gluten Free Oats and three very ripe bananas sit on a white marble backround

And, so I kind of merged those two recipes together and added a blender component to make this new one.  I grabbed a bag of my FAV Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats and some ripe bananas and got to work.

How to Make Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins

It’s really easy to use your blender to make muffins!

Unlike my Baked Oatmeal Cups, I decided to blend the oats in this recipe to give the muffins more of a, well, muffin-y texture.  This is perfect for people who want to enjoy the health benefits of Oatmeal, but don’t love the taste or texture of it.

And I love how easy it is to blend them up right in my Ninja – you are basically making an oat flour without needing to use your food processor.

A blender with bananas, eggs, milk and maple syrup

Then you add the remaining ingredients and pulse.  So freaking simple!

What kind of toppings or Mix-ins can I use for these Healthy Blender Muffins?

I decided to borrow a page from my Baked Oatmeal cups and make these with different fun toppings!  These have a very similar taste to my banana bread, so clearly dark chocolate chips are a perfect choice.  But I actually really enjoyed the fruit and nut combinations, too!  You can also mix fruit or chocolate chips right into the batter if you want.

So quick and easy, these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins are a perfect for make ahead breakfast for you or the kids.  Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free, too - perfect for the 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers! You can have TWO of these blender muffins as a serving for breakfast.  They are only 5 Weight Watchers Freestyle points per serving, and for the 21 Day Fix, you will use 1 yellow, 1 purple, and 2 sweetener teaspoons for BOTH muffins! #ultimateportionfix #21dayfix #weightwatchers #confessionsofafitfoodie

Are these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins good for the 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers?

Of course!  You can have TWO of these blender muffins as a serving for breakfast.  They are only 5 Weight Watchers Freestyle points per serving, and for the 21 Day Fix, you will use 1 yellow, 1 purple, and 2 sweetener teaspoons for BOTH muffins!

Are these 21 Day Fix Blender Muffins good for meal prep?

Totally.  I love prepping anything that is quick and easy, but saves me tons of time in the morning.  If I make a batch of these on a Sunday, I know I have a quick grab and go breakfast or snack for both me and the kids!

How should I store these Banana Blender Muffins?  Are these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins freezer friendly?

You should keep these muffins in your refrigerator and eating within 3-5 days.  If you want to keep them longer, they freeze very well!   I like to thaw overnight in the fridge and warm in the microwave for a few seconds before eating.

So quick and easy, these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Blender Muffins are a perfect for make ahead breakfast for you or the kids.  Naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar free, too – perfect for the 21 Day Fix or Weight Watchers!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Old Fashioned Rolled Oats 
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 rounded cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium or 2 large bananas – and get them super ripe and sweet)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

  • Cooking oil spray
  • optional toppings: dark chocolate chips, blueberries, diced strawberries, diced bananas and walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.

  3. Place the remaining ingredients in the blender and blend on low until combined.  (except toppings)
  4. Pour oats back into blender and pulse a few times just until combined, using a rubber spatula to scrape sides as needed.  
  5. Line a cupcake tray with liners – I LOVE using parchment liners – and spray with coconut oil cooking spray.  
  6. Pour batter evenly into cupcake liners – about ¾ full.
  7. Top each muffin with 1 Tablespoon of the fruit toppings or ½ Tablespoon of the chocolate chips.
  8. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  
  9. Store in the refrigerator or freezer after cooling.

    So I don’t have applesauce, could I swap out with plain Greek yogurt? And do you think it would affect my container count? Thanks! Love your recipes and blog, absolutely the best!

        I thought these were great! Just FYI, the muffins with no toppings are 107 calories per muffin. I spread 1/4 chopped walnuts over all 12 muffins and it bumped the calorie value to 123 per muffin. Needed the calories for my Noom! Thanks for the awesome recipe; can’t wait to try out more!

    I don’t have almond milk, will 1% work? It’s for hubby, he’s not doing the fix & I’m allergic to banana so these are for him!

    Also, I do have eggs but what if I just wanted to use the applesauce? How much total?

    These are so good and healthy. Thank you for the recipe! I top each muffin with frozen berries. Also I do not put the dry mixture back into the blender. I did that the first time and it was so tough to blend and then remove. I just pour the wet mixture on top of the dry in the mixing bowl and give it a little hand blend and it works great!

    Hi, first I just want to say my family loves all of your recipes! You site has been a game changer for us. Quick question. I don’t have a big blender just one of the ninja bullet type ones for single serve shakes. Could I still use that? Not sure how much actually needs to go in. Or is there an alternative to use instead of a blender.

    I made these yesterday and they are really good!! Just getting my family started on the 21 day fix and your recipes really help!!! Just curious how many muffins are in a single batch? Because if you made 12 and I made 18 that effects the serving size of 2.

    • Nancylynn says

      The recipe makes about 12 muffins. You may have a little extra batter, depending on how “rounded” your cup of banana was, etc. As long as you fill the muffins 3/4 of the way full, even if your batch yields more muffins, the serving size should still be 2 muffins. More muffins is a good thing in my book! I hope your family enjoyed them!

    We are currently in a camper and no room for a blender at the moment, when you have to pick and choose the small appliances you use on a more regular basis. I would love to make these but not sure how? I do have Pamela’s GF baking mix to help with my rolled oats if needed, but not sure how to incorporate it all?

      Hi! So fun! Since you don’t have space for a blender right now, try one of these two recipes instead that share a lot of the same ingredients as the muffins.
