Banana passion fruit muffins are my first gluten-free bakes. They turned out so delicious and after making them many times, I am posting this recipe.
These banana passion fruit muffins are moist and fluffy and you will not make it out that these are gluten-free. Everyone at my home liked it so much and especially my daughter.
I have used fresh passion fruit along with seeds in this recipe. The seeds give a good crunch to the soft muffins. You can skip and seeds and use the juice of passion fruit alone.
Passionfruit gives the nice flavor to the cake, there is another passion fruit cake made with whole wheat flour on the blog. Do check it out. Also please check my other healthy cakes and cookies recipes.
Variations to banana passion fruit muffins:
- This recipe has buckwheat flour, you can use whole wheat flour as well.
- To make the vegan banana muffins, I used coconut yogurt. But normal yogurt or any plant-based yogurt will work for this recipe.
- You can use butter or any neutral-flavored oil to make this passionfruit muffins recipe.
- Coconut sugar has a low glycemic index and so I use it in all my bakes mostly. Any sugar or jaggery powder will work for this recipe.

Wow baking with buckwheat flour sounds fantastic! what a healthy bake..and though I am yet to taste passion fruit, adding it to the muffin makes it sound so yummy.
The time I read the recipe name, I let out a small “wow”. It does look wow, as well! I love banana bakes and now feeling really intrigued with the addition of the pretty passion fruit in it.. Lovely share!
thank you so much Rafeeda 🙂
Love these healthy muffins Sravanthi, I get a lot of passion fruits from my garden and so far made only desserts and ice cream with it. No one likes to eat the fruit at home so I’m always distributing the fruit. Now, I’ll definitely give your recipe a try. It sounds really interesting.
Totally healthy and guilt free muffins… Passion is like so different…such a lovely try…
