4 Ingredient Flourless Almond Butter Muffins
These flourless almond butter muffins are just four ingredients and make a perfect breakfast treat.
I bought a Costco-sized container of almond butter the other week because it’s so much cheaper than buying a small jar at the market. And of course, now I have way too much, so I’ve been trying to use some up by baking with it. I really like Costco and its prices but I think I shop there way more than I should considering I’m only shopping for a household of two.
These muffins come out light and fluffy, and you can’t tell they are flourless at all. Looking at these photos, I wish I had garnished them with some almond slivers as they do look a bit plain. Oops. Something to remember for next time!
While you can make regular muffins, I made mine miniaturized because everything tastes better as minis.

4 Ingredient Flourless Almond Butter Muffins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 5 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line your mini muffin tin with cupcake liners. Please note, mini muffin tins come in a few different sizes. My cooking directions were based on the usage of the Wilton mini muffin pan. If your mini muffin molds are slightly bigger or smaller, you will have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- In a large mixing bowl, add ingredients. Mix with a whisk until a smooth, uniform batter forms.
- Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until muffin tops look completely cooked and knife inserted comes out clean.
I just made this recipe. I used coconut sugar and monk fruit sugar. I decided to add orange extract and some craisins. Delicious! I’m going to try using just a little more almond butter to see if I can make the muffins a little less spongey. However, I’d make these as is again and again!
That sounds delicious! We’re so glad you loved this recipe!
Update: made these again…. added probably 2 more tbsp of almond butter and they are even better! Can’t wait to experiment with some new add ins. Maybe some banana extract with chopped pecans. Or use peanut butter and add zero sugar chocolate chips.
The best review is my husband eating one and saying these aren’t good for me are they? You wouldn’t know that there is no grain in it.
We’re so glad that worked out for you! Those add ins sound great!
Can these be frozen?
I have not tried freezing them but I think it should be okay
hello kirbie, this is quite amazing! can i substitute almond butter with cookie butter for this recipe?
yes. you might want to slightly reduce the sugar though since cookie butter is a bit sweeter than almond butter
Perfect! I’ve been looking for some wheat-free muffin recipes and this will fit the bill nicely. I have the flourless almond cookies on the to make list first, though. Craving cookies more than muffins right now. 🙂
I’m more cookies over muffins =)
