What ingredients do I need to make these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins?

• Kodiak Cakes buttermilk flapjack pancake mix –You can find the Kodiak Cakes at most nationwide grocery stores or HERE on Amazon. You can substitute the Kodiak with Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix, Buttermilk or any other pancake mix-keep in mind the point values will vary. You can find Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix, Buttermilk – 100% Whole Grain Flour at most grocery stores or HERE on Amazon. 
• Canned 100% pumpkin purée
• Egg or 2 large egg whites
• Vanilla extract
• Water
• Pumpkin spice
• Cinnamon
• Zero Point white sugar substitute- I use Lakanto Monkfruit Classic Sweetener 
• Baking powder
• No sugar added chocolate chips or any sugar free chocolate chips ( about 5 chips per muffin)- I like to use the “no sugar added ChocZero milk chocolate chips or Lily’s milk or dark chocolate chips.”

What can I use to add extra protein to these muffins?

To increase the protein content in these muffins you may substitute a 1/3 cup Kodiak Pancake mix for 1/3 cup (100-110 calorie) flavor protein powder ( I use Devotion Angel Food Cake)

Adding the protein will promote satiety and makes these the perfect, portable snack!

The protein powder I love and recommend is Devotion Nutrition Angel Food Cake Protein Powder.

It’s gluten-free, 2 PersonalPoints, and has 20 grams of protein for just 1 scoop!

Tips:

1. I recommend using either foil muffin liners or spraying the muffin tin with non stick cooking spray. The paper muffin liners tend to stick to the batter.
2. Store in an airtight container.
3. The point value range can vary depending on the brand of pancake mix or if you replace that with all purpose flour.
4. The Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (sugar substitute) that is used in this recipe is zero points. Please keep in mind-the point value can vary depending on the brand of sugar substitute you choose to use.  Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener also has a 1:1 ratio to real sugar. If you use a different sugar substitute you will want to use the equivalent to real sugar that is recommended on back of the sugar substitute package.
