I love these ABC Banana Muffins! These are one of the most popular muffin recipes on the blog and that is because they are SO easy to make and taste ah-mazing! Very moist (sorry not sorry), chocolatey and satisfying. I love the mix of almond butter and dark chocolate chips. Such a good combination! You can also use any nut butter you love - peanut butter, pecan butter, cashew butter - you name it. This recipe is super versatile with that.
Here's what you need for these ABC Banana Muffins:
- Almond Butter - or your fave nut butter as I said. You want it to be creamy / drippy nut butter so nothing too hard or cold. If yours is hard/cold make sure to melt it slightly so that it will mix well.
- Avocado Oil - So underrated to bake with! It has a very neutral taste. Plus, very healthy!
- Eggs
- Maple Syrup - you can also use honey in place of this if you do not like maple.
- Vanilla - duh, it's a baked good 🙂
- Almond Flour - My fave gluten free flour to bake with! Best texture in my opinion.
- Baking Soda
- Chocolate Chips - You can use dairy-free dark chocolate or any chocolate chips you love. A cut up chocolate bar also works. You can also mix in nuts too!
These last in the fridge for about 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3-4 weeks. Just zap it in the microwave when you want to eat from frozen! Easy peasy.

What almond butter do you recommend?
Anything creamy! I love wild friends, or trader joes.
These are my favorite muffins to make!! So easy, so quick, and literally amazing. If I don’t have creamy nut butter on hand I’ll just heat up some jif lol. They’re so, so good.
