Quick, easy and delicious, these healthy flourless Funfetti muffins are the perfect healthy snack recipe to have on hand! Just one bowl and 25 minutes is needed from prep to plate- Naturally gluten free and vegan, they can be made sugar free too!
I am actually the laughing stock amongst my friends (both on and off the blog).
The first month or so since being in America, the majority of their communication with me was via Instagram or Facebook. While many of them are rude loyal blog readers, there wasn’t too much to ascertain from posts…Except for the fact that it seemed like I didn’t know how to turn on an oven or bake.
MY OTHER RECIPES
“Arman, you’re making Australians look like we live in the stone age!”
Geebuz.
I didn’t know my kitchen skills (or lack thereof) was reflective on Australia.
Anyway, over the last month or so, I started using the oven more. Admittingly, the first couple of times, my recipes I trialled came out horrible. I blame this on the fact that changing from Celsius to Fahrenheit was a task in itself. I soon learnt basic maths skills and voila- The oven is now my bestie.
So there.
Something else I’ve been embracing?
Bloody sprinkles.
As much of a pain as they are to photograph (the trail they leave behind…..), they are a fun addition to recipes and something you’d better get accustomed to. I hadn’t even heard of the term Funfetti until arriving here. In fact, when I first heard of it, I thought it would make an amazing name for my future daughter.
Okay, that was random.
We first saw them make an appearance in the healthy 1-minute vanilla cake before coming back again for some no-bake action in the form of cake batter bites. Oh and they also made way in this healthy cake batter dip for one. They resurface once again for today’s creation- Healthy Flourless Funfetti Muffins. Healthy Flourless Funfetti Muffins which use just ONE bowl.
Zing.
These healthy flourless funfetti muffins need only one bowl to make and a tiny ingredient list! They are the perfect snack or healthy treat to have on hand or if your anything like me- Breakfast. My original plan was to adapt my flourless sticky cinnamon bun muffin recipe, but put my big boy pants on and branched away from both the protein powder and my actual child, the coconut flour. This made this recipe even simpler and with an even smaller ingredient list. I wanted to ensure the muffin was moist, fluffy and tender but without needing any oil- Be it coconut, olive or I don’t know, car oil. Not only are they extremely fluffy and delicious, they are low calorie, gluten-free, dairy free and completely vegan!
HACK! I used these vegan-friendly sprinkles but you can use any sprinkles if your dietary beliefs allow. However, those smaller (aka cheaper) ball-shaped sprinkles will stain the muffins throughout so I’d suggest either simply topping your muffins at the end or be prepared for random splotches of blue.
hihi.
Make these healthy one bowl flourless funfetti muffins and don’t you DARE name your future daughter Funfetti.
It’s taken.
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour (gluten free oats ground into a flour)
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar (use stevia or a sugar free baking blend to keep sugar free)
- 1 T baking powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1 cup dairy free milk
- 1 flax egg (can sub for 1 large egg if not vegan)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 T nut butter of choice, melted (I used smooth cashew butter)
- Sprinkles
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 10-12 muffin tins with patty pans and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix well.
- In a small bowl, whisk the milk, vanilla extract and egg/flax egg. Pour into the dry mixture. Add the melted nut butter and mix very well until a batter is formed. Stir through the sprinkles.
- Using a 1/4 cup, pour batter into the patty pans/muffin liners/muffin tin until almost full. Top with extra sprinkles and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes, before removing and allowing to cool on a dry surface.
- Muffins are freezer friendly and can be kept at room temperature- Ensure they are covered in a container if so.

Then pink and purple “funfetti” is making me happy! I haven’t looked for healthy sprinkles so don’t really use them but my kids always beg so I might have to.
Lol, another blog original from here 😀
Must make these! Love the addition of pretty sprinkles
These are SO good- Already made six batches. Oops :/
I didn’t know they made vegan sprinkles. This will be a total game changer!
They are sooo good- Perfect for many of my recipes 🙂
I am a major of fan of confetti and sprinkles and funfetti as you may know from my birthday expose 🙂
Oh nice! I’ll need to catch up on my post reading, anything funfetti and I’m a fan… that kinda sounded odd!
SPRINKLES ARE FOR WINNERS.
You know I’m a winner.
Ish.
You are my golden chicken.
Sprinkles make everything happier. I haven’t had muffins in forever, but my favorites are probably blueberry. Or banana nut, I can’t decide.
oooooo banana nut. I say banana nut 😀
Oooh my. I keep forgetting about sprinkles throughout the year because they’re mostly used for Christmas cookies over here. No Funfetti fun. Now, however, I’m very tempted to buy a package of sprinkles and funfetti all the things! Only I doubt I will find vegan sprinkles here so that’ll have to wait until my next trip to Hamburg.
These muffins are some real beauties. Top them with a tiara and they’ll win a contest ;).
Ohhhh I hope you find some- I had to order them from Amazon!
Haha…I am totally imagining you with a trail of sprinkles following you wherever you go. Literally. They probably fall out of your pockets as you walk down the street. You’re like a unicorn walking on a rainbow! Just kidding, mate…but if you are feeling generous, then you can pass me one (or two!) of these muffins. I like funfetti. A lot.
Dude, I was shooting a meat dish the other day and have to reshoot…damn sprinkles in the background!
Oh my gosh I want these mostly because of the sprinkles, so pretty! Kudos for teaching me about a healthier sprinkle alternative. I’ve been avoiding them for years but now I know there is an alternative 😉
YES! I was stoked to find these 🙂
Congrats on learning the oven! But don’t let us Americans give you too much beef–we would be LOST if we had to convert to celsius!
hahahaha thanks so much, Kristen!
Funfetti! I love funfetti. My favorite muffin is probably a pumpkin or a banana muffin.
Mmm banana muffins are delicious!
Sprinkles look so pretty! I think they’re pretty interesting for fall. These muffins look to die for!
Thanks so much, Cassie!
These look amazing!! Yum!
Thanks so much, Caitlin!
You HAVE to name your future daughter Funfetti because it’s in writing and is legally binding in blogland. I love my bran muffins that taste nothing like they would be healthy. These look super good!
I totally will! But maybe then move to Australia so she won’t be bullied. lol!
Sprinkles make everything better although I’m sure these would be great without! Yum!
Thanks so much, Lisa 🙂
Sometimes in life your just need sprinkles… And nothing else will do! #TeamSprinkles
I adore them on ice cream…. Just that little bit of crunch! 🙂
Yesssss sprinkles make everything better! Those are my favorite kind though (better than the longer ones). I’m happy to see you’re using the oven too because my apartment has terrible heat so I’m gonna need the oven to be on all. the. time. this winter. Happy to be back reading about your creations!
Haha right? They have dual use! 😀
I love the sprinkles in these muffins! They give a little crispy texture in each bite.
YES! They so do and it’s so good haha! 🙂
I am glad you embraced both the oven and sprinkles because together they make the most amazing treats!! These muffins will put a smile on any morning.
🙂 Thanks Zainab!
These look absolutely FUNtastic!! Since my daughter’s latest obsession is colored sprinkles (chocolate just won’t do!!) these would be the perfect surprise treat for her 🙂
You’d totally be mum of the year with those antics! 🙂
You could TOTALLY get away with naming a kid Funfetti! Sounds better than Apple or Bluebell. I don’t know if it beats out “Tu Morrow” though. Very well played.
Tu Morrow….what an epic name!
Do you know what the conversion would be, if you wanted to sub out the gluten free oat flour for coconut and almond flour? 🙂
Hi Laura! I’ve never tried this out using those two flours, sorry! I’d recommend you try one of my flourless breakfast cakes which come with a tested paleo option! 🙂
Hey Arman! I have a question. Do you use Australian standard measurements or American ones (I use American.)? Because I know that UK and US cups, tbs, etc. are actually slightly different, and I think Australian ones might be the same as the UK? But anyway, I know it can greatly impact recipe results if you use the wrong ones. I tried something out on your blog before and it didn’t work out, so maybe that was why? Idk. I just really don’t want to mess them up without even realizing it. Thanks for your help!!! These look delicious 🙂
Hi Erin! Because my readership is primarily Australian, I stick to the American metric system 🙂
Does a capital T mean “tablespoon” (15ml)?
It sure does! 🙂
