These Paleo Flourless Chocolate Muffins are quick to make and so tasty. They are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and naturally sweetened.
These muffins are so tasty. They have a great texture that isn't too eggy or dry. The banana flavor is just right and balanced with the chocolate. These will become a family favorite!
Nut Free and Flourless
These are made using No Sugar Added SunButter which keeps them nut free. No almond flour is used which is pretty common in paleo baked goods. Actually, no flour is used at all making these super simple.
If you don't need them nut free then you can use almond, cashew or pecan butter. I haven't tried making them egg free, but with only 1 egg, a substitute should work well.
Simple to Make
All the ingredients are placed in a food processor or blender and blended until smooth. It takes just a few minutes to add everything and blend. That's the only dish to clean up as well- yay!
Mini or Regular Muffins
These are so great as mini muffins because they only take 7 minutes to bake and are super cute. Also great for small hands. If you don't have a mini muffin tin though, you can make them in a regular muffin tin and bake them a little longer at a lower temperature. It only makes 7 if you do that. Instructions are in the notes of the recipe.
These paleo flourless mini chocolate muffins are so easy and delicious. I know you and your kids will love them!

Man, these are ADORABLE! And so yummy! Whipped these up last minute for my daughters birthday breakfast. Definitely a keeper to make again and again. Thank you!

I've made this recipe multiple times. So easy and quick. I usually double them and make them standard size.
Jenni says
I haven’t made the recipe yet. But I was wondering if the egg could be substituted with a flax egg? If so how much?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jenni- yes! One flax egg which is 1 tablespoon flax meal and 3 tablespoons water mixed together. Hope you love the muffins!
Amy says
These turned out better than I expected. We can’t do eggs, so I just threw in an extra banana, and it worked great. No one in my house will eat it if I call it a flourless muffin (boys!), but I said it was a chocolate banana truffle bite, and they were gobbled up!
Jessica DeMay says
