Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)

These fudgy paleo chocolate banana muffins are super rich and decadent! They’re also naturally sweetened with honey and are grain-free, gluten-free and dairy-free.

When I make muffins, I’m usually able to eat at least three or four before I feel even the slightest bit full (I have to admit that I’m kind of a piggie). But these chocolate banana muffins are so rich and filling I could hardly do one and a half.

I suppose that’s not too surprising considering all the almond flour and chocolate in there!

These gluten-free muffins have a really nice texture! They’re not quite fudgy, but definitely headed that way, which is probably another reason why I couldn’t handle eating several of these at once.

So they’re dense, but a nice dense, and have a really nice crumb. And they definitely don’t have that typical paleo muffin texture! I don’t know about you, but I’ve had way too many bad grain-free muffins.

They’re often weirdly spongy and just don’t taste very good. My taste testers thought that these were made with all-purpose flour. To be honest now, my taste testers don’t know a thing about baking, let alone grain-free baking, but I was happy. :D

For another paleo muffin recipe with an awesome texture, you have to try my paleo blueberry muffins! They’re magical. They’re almost like angel food-like in texture.

These paleo apple muffins are also amazingly delicious! They have grated and chopped apples and loads of cinnamon for a lovely explosion of fall flavor.

But back to today’s recipe! The banana taste is also pretty strong in these banana muffins so I wouldn’t recommend making these unless the idea of chocolate and banana appeals to you!

I was kind of hoping to use up my bananas in these muffins and not have them taste like banana at all, but I’m still really pleased with how they came out.

I haven’t tried subbing the banana with something else so I have no idea how that’d work. If you try using something else, let us know in the comments how it worked out!

If you’d rather have something more traditional, try these guilt-free chocolate banana muffins from Noble Pig. These double chocolate banana quinoa muffins from A Dash of Sanity also sound delicious and interesting!

Paleo Chocolate Banana Muffins (grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free)
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Ready in:
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with the bottom of a glass. They should almost be like a puree.
  3. Add the honey and vanilla and stir.
  4. Add in the eggs and oil and stir until well combined.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  6. Stir just until combined and then stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin liners and sprinkle on additional chocolate chips, if desired.
  8. Bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be careful not to confuse a melted chocolate chip with the batter.
  9. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  1. Use can use unrefined coconut oil if you don't mind a slight coconut taste.

    These are delicious. I usually skip mixing in the chocolate chips and put a few on the top of the muffin. I make these muffins regularly and carry them with me on the run, so much better than grabbing something from a store with empty calories.

    O.M.G these are my absolute favorite treats I’ve ever made-hands down the BEST! I didn’t modify much except for 1/4 cup honey as I tend to like things on the less sweet side, and added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. So amazing. A crowd pleaser!!

    Hi! I’m excited to see this recipe. I’m allergic to eggs, do you think it would work to omit the eggs and add an extra banana? Or replace the eggs with applesauce?
    Thanks!

      Hi there! The only experience I have with egg replacers is with chia eggs (which I’m not positive would work in these – grain-free recipes and chia eggs aren’t always a sure thing) so I unfortunately have no idea how applesauce or banana would work. I’m sorry about that! Wish I could help more.

      1 cup of almond flour is 100 grams. I use a digital scale and cups to ensure accuracy. If you google “1 cup of almond flour in grams” you’ll find other sites saying around 95-105 grams of almond flour per cup.

    These don’t feel or taste like a healthy treat. They are every bit as enjoyable as a regular chocolate muffin, just as easy to make, but guilt free! Im currently on the Gaps diet and needed something chocolate as well as something I could take on the go. This is SO perfect and my kids and husband love them!:)

    I’m a baker, and I don’t specialize in gluten free, dairy free or Paleo baking so when a customer requested muffins that were gluten/dairy free I was rather nervous… All of the recipes I’ve tried in the past have been, for one reason or another, awful!!

    I was skeptical of this recipe since the batter is a little more runny than I’m used to. But I’m happy to say this turned out perfectly! These were actually some of the best muffins I’ve had, gluten free or otherwise! Next time I’d reduce the honey as I found them a bit too sweet for my liking, but otherwise these will definitely be my go-to gf/DF/paleo muffins! Thank you!

    I’ve made these muffins a bunch of times and my family loves them. I recently had a bunch of zucchini to use up and after unsuccessfully searching for a gluten and dairy free recipe that looked appealing I thought I’d try adapting this one and they turned out great. I subbed the banana for equal parts zucchini (peel included) and I was a little worried that the zucchini flavor might be too strong so I added a tsp of cinnamon. I’m too lazy to grate the zucchini so I threw it along with all the wet ingredients in the blender. Also added two tbsp of ground flax seed to the dry ingredients, just for kicks. Love your recipes! Thanks so much!

      Hi there! This recipe won’t come out as it’s supposed to (and I’m thinking it’d just be a huge disaster) without the bananas. I recommend finding a different recipe for chocolate muffins if you don’t have any bananas. 2 bananas (about 300 grams) is just too much to omit from a recipe. Sorry about that!

I’m not super precise with measurements (I don’t weigh my ingredients) and these are always awesome. They’re so easy to throw together on random morning for a little something special, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand.

    I just made these – fabulous! After reading others’ comments I made the following small tweaks: used 3T pure maple syrup since I didn’t have honey, separated the eggs, whipped the whites stiff and folded into the batter; used 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chips; AND made MINI muffins! As for separating the eggs, I haven’t made the recipe as written so I can’t comment on textural differences but I love the texture – rich but light in a way! I greased the mini muffin pans with coconut oil and dusted them with coconut flour (no mini liners in the pantry). I made 28 as I was afraid to overfill the pans but it would have been fine to divy up the batter for 24 MINIs. I baked them for 12 min total with several interim checks, cooled for 5 min and they came out ot fhe pans just fine! These are a real hit! Thanks!

        I substituted the coconut flour for 3 tablespoons of cocoa chia flax mixture from Whole Foods. Worked great for me and very tasty! These are the best muffins ever, I couldn’t stop eating them and my kids loved them too. Thank you!

          Oooh! That’s an interesting sub. :) I’m so happy it worked out! What is the brand? I’ve never heard of cocoa chia flax! That’s great that you and your kids enjoyed them so much. Thank you for your feedback and the tip!

    Wow. These are excellent! I added only about 3/4 cups of chocolate chips and found that enough for me. I separated the eggs and whipped the egg whites. I stirred them in gently at the end after the other wet and dry ingredients were mixed well.
    Instead of 12 muffins I made 6 large ones (yummy….). I added about 7 minutes to the baking time.
    Loved them.

      I’m so happy you enjoyed them! I’d be interested to try your version to see how whipping the egg whites affects the texture. Sounds good. :) Thanks for your tip and your feedback!

    I used less than 1/4 c. Honey and they are perfect!

      You can omit the chocolate chips but they won’t be nearly as delicious. ;) But you can’t omit or sub anything for the cocoa powder.

    Is there a substitute for almond flour? It’s one of our allergies but this recipe looks good!

      Thanks! You could try another type of nut flour. If you can’t do nuts at all, I’ve heard of people using sunflower seed flour but I’ve never tried it and have no idea if it’d work here. Sorry about that!

        I didn’t have much almond flour left in my pantry, so I ground up some oats for oat flour instead. They had a slightly chewier texture but otherwise were moist and delicious!

    I had some very ripe bananas when I made this so instead of honey I used maple syrup. I also put chopped pecans as a topping. I love them! Thanks for sharing.

    One of my favorite muffin recipes!! We make these all the time. We are out of honey, could we sub maple syrup?

      The two aren’t always interchangeable and I haven’t tried it in these but I think it’d work. Let me know how it goes and thanks for your comment! I’m happy to hear that you’ve been enjoying them. :)

    Just made these and they turned out DELICIOUS!!
    My main issue is that I entered all the ingredients into My Fitness Pal (an app. to track calories and nutrients) and these are super high in carbs (30 g) and low in protein (around 6 g).

    Is this because of the bananas?

    I was really hoping for a low carb high protein muffin :(

      I’m happy you enjoyed them! :) Bananas are indeed very high in carbs as is the honey and the chocolate chips. If you want a low-carb muffin, I’d suggest looking for a recipe without bananas and that uses a low-carb sweetener like erythritol or stevia. I unfortunately don’t have any suggestions on recipes as I don’t do any low-carb baking. Sorry about that! I hope you can still eat them. :)

    They look so yum and want to get recipe right 🙃🙃

      It says 1/4 cup coconut oil. Do you not see the same? If not, try viewing in another browser. :) It’s 1 cup chocolate chips unless you want to sprinkle more on top. I hope you’ll enjoy them!

      I’m assuming so but I haven’t tried it so I really have no idea how long you’d need to bake it. Sorry about that! I hope you’ll enjoy it if you try it out. :)
