Five Ingredient Blender Muffins are a quick, healthy and gluten-free treat your family can grab and take on the run. Β They are easy to throw in the blender and way healthier than packaged muffins.
We are three days into summer and so far so good. Β We’ve just been relaxing with no camps, no obligations, no homework and no routines. Β My kids have even been doing their summer workbooks without being asked. Β Woo hoo!
Remember when I said my kids would be in training at the start of summer? Β Well, I started boot camp by having them do their laundry. Β I taught them the basics and let them go to town. Β It is so hard for me to just let them go without interfering. My 13-year-old still has his clean, dry clothes crumpled up in the laundry basket in his room. Β I am hoping that wearing his clothes completely wrinkled will teach him to fold it a tad bit quicker.
Will that happen? Β Or will he learn that he can get by without ever folding and putting the clothes away? Β Will he just go from dryer to laundry basket to body for the rest of his life? Β I guess that wouldn’t be the end of the world. Β I will not interfere.
My daughter is a bit more disciplined with her laundry and only lets it sit in the laundry basket for a few hours. Β It’s so hard teaching your kids lessons. Β I’ve always said it is just easier for me to do it myself but I know it’s not what’s best for the kids.
In a continued effort to make my kids more self-sufficient,Β I’m trying to stock foods that the kids can make themselves or grab and go. Β These Five Ingredient Blender Muffins are the perfect healthy treat for breakfast and snacks. They are gluten-free and full of protein. Β Your older kids can make these on their own if they know how to use the oven.
I went a bit crazy with my toppings just to show all the healthy options but my kids love the chocolate chunks. Β If you prefer, you can mix in the goodies right before pouring into the muffin pans. Β These Five Ingredient Blender Muffins can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen in individual baggies for grab and go.

These are so cute! I love all the different toppings you used- very creative!
How does this work without any type of gluten-free flour?
Hi Melanie, I’m not a scientist but the bananas and cashew butter really bind the oats together to make a cookie type dough. They are definitely not the consistency of a regular light and airy cookie, they are more dense – almost like a granola bar. Hope that answers your question!
Will this work with regular butter? My daughter is GF and allergic to nuts.
Sorry Brenda but I don’t think it will. It would have to be a nut butter. Thanks for commenting!
