Healthy Oatmeal Blender Muffins Base Recipe
Use this oatmeal blender muffins base recipe to craft ANY flavor of healthy breakfast muffins that you like. Get creative with YOUR favorite flavorings and mix-ins!
Rather than refined flours, we’re using rolled oats as the main ingredient for all of these flourless blender muffins recipes. Oats are a whole grain and a far more nutritious alternative, rich in slow-digesting complex carbs, dietary fiber, and even some protein. Plus, they’re naturally gluten free!* (See note below recipe about gluten sensitivities.)
Besides the oats, there are a few other staple ingredients in these oatmeal blender muffins that are non-negotiable: the eggs, baking powder, and baking soda. Unfortunately, that means these breakfast muffins can’t be made vegan—you need the eggs! But, everything else is totally customizable.
You can choose from a variety of fruit puree options, use whichever liquid/sticky sweetener you like, you choose the type of nut or seed butter, and use whichever kind of milk suits your lifestyle. Plus, there are TONS of different mix-ins you can add to your oatmeal muffins to change up the flavors. One basic muffin recipe, infinite easy breakfast possibilities!

How to Make Healthy Muffins without Flour
Whichever flavor of oatmeal blender muffins you’re craving, they’re all just as easy to make: blend the batter, add the mix-ins, fill your muffin tins, and bake! We’ll walk through the process together so you can see for yourself, and it’s the same process for any flavor of oatmeal muffins you choose to make.
I’m showing you how to make healthy muffins without flour using one of my FAVORITE breakfast muffins flavors—my flourless peanut butter banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins recipe! (Yes, it’s a mouthful…but they’re basically blender banana oatmeal muffins with a peanutty, chocolaty twist.)
#1 BLEND your Oatmeal Blender Muffins Batter Ingredients
First things first, grab your blender and get your oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). These oatmeal blender muffins only take about 10 minutes to prep, so they’ll be ready to bake by the time your oven’s warmed up!
Any old blender should do the trick for these recipes, you may just need to scrape down the sides a bit as you go. Personally, I made all of these blender muffins in my trusty Vitamix blender, which is pretty heavy-duty. Or, you can also use a food processor—whichever you prefer!
(TIP: I actually recommend using a food processor when making prune puree for your fruit mash, as well as when making blender muffins with prune puree, like my healthy lemon poppy seed muffins recipe. Prunes can be pretty sticky, and blending them can be a bit of a challenge!)
Into your blender, add your base oatmeal muffins batter ingredients—but don’t add your mix-ins just yet! The amount of milk you’ll need can vary, so start with less at first and add more as you go as needed.
For my peanut butter banana muffins example recipe, I add mashed banana as my fruit mash, rolled oats, eggs, honey as my liquid/sticky sweetener, peanut butter for my nut butter, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and I used almond milk as my milk of choice to keep my breakfast muffins dairy free.
Then, just blend it all up until you’ve got a nice, thick batter without any clumps! If it’s too thick or your blender is sticking, add a bit more milk to adjust the consistency.
#2 MIX IN your Mix-Ins of Choice
Once you’ve got a smooth, thick batter, mix in those mix-ins! (See what I did there?)
You can transfer your oatmeal blender muffins batter to a bowl to do this if you prefer, but I don’t bother. I just stir those mix-ins right into the blender and spare myself washing an extra dish!
Then, my batter is ready to scoop straight from the blender and into my muffin tin.
#3 Portion into Muffin Tin
Before filling up your muffin tin, make sure it’s greased well or sprayed with cooking spray so your breakfast muffins don’t get stuck! Portion the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about ⅔ full.
To make portioning easier on me, I use a ¼-cup ice cream scoop—but it doesn’t need to be exact! Just know that each of these recipes yielded 12-14 blender muffins for me, depending on how much batter I loaded into my muffin tins.
(It will also depend on the kinds of mix-ins you’re using, how heaping your ingredient measurements are, etc. Doesn’t hurt to have a second muffin tin ready just in case!)
#4 Bake, Cool & Devour!
Now, all that’s left to do is pop those bad boys in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean!
After baking, leave your blender muffins in the tin to cool for about 15 minutes before removing them.
Then, they’re ready to serve fresh for a healthy breakfast or nourishing snack! Or, package into airtight containers for a meal prep breakfast and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Say whaaat?! Trust me, the prunes’ natural sweetness and subtle tartness pairs perfectly with the tangy bite of citrus in this gluten free lemon poppy seed muffins recipe. And, all of that satisfying, natural sweetness means you can start with less honey in this recipe and sweeten to taste.

4 Comments on “Flourless Oatmeal Blender Muffins | 7 Healthy Blender Muffins + FREE eBook!”
Hi, I was wondering if you are able to add cocoa powder to the recipe. That way you could have a double/triple chocolate muffins or black forest muffins too?
Hi! Sure, you’re welcome to add cocoa powder to your oatmeal blender muffins if you’d like. I think cocoa would pair best with the Healthy Peanut Butter Banana Muffins Recipe – I’d recommend blending 3-4 Tbsp of cocoa powder in with the batter and seeing how you like them 🙂 I hope this helps!
my pumpkin blender muffins only tasted like peanut butter….any tips to modify the recipe?
Hi Lauren! My best advice would be to use less applesauce and increase the pumpkin in the recipe, and maybe even use a bit less peanut butter. In addition to that, I’d recommend adding some additional spices – specifically about 1/2 tsp – 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice if you have it! 🙂
