Ingredients:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and using a muffin tin, line a full size muffin tin with 12 liners
  2. In a medium bowl add pumpkin purée, egg, water, extract, and sugar substitute. Stir well.
  3.  In a separate bowl combine kodiak pancake mix, pumpkin spice, cinnamon. baking powder.
  4. Add dry ingredients into the wet slowly as you stir. Stir just until combined. Then add fold in no sugar added chocolate chips.

BLUE: 1 SmartPoint for muffin or 3 SmartPoints for 2 servings

PURPLE: 1 SmartPoint for muffin or 3 SmartPoints for 2 servings

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 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.

Note:

  • For extra protein 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) 

I use Devotion Nutrition Angel Food Cake Protein Powder as the base this recipe. It’s 1 Smartpoint per scoop.

    Would it still be 1 point if I omit the chocolate chips? I’m not a chocolate chip fan but love pumpkin muffins. Thanks

    I’ve tried protein powder muffins in the past and really don’t like them. Does the protein powder have that “protein powder” consistency?

      Hi Nicole,

      I know exactly what you are referring to-the Devotion protein powder does not have that. It’s texture is more like a cake mix or pancake mix.

      Hope that helps. Thank you!

    I used Hershey’s sugar free chocolate chips and then realized that they’re 70 calories for 1 Tbsp compared to Lily’s 60 choc. Chips for 55 calories. I suggest checking the nutritional value first before buying sugar free choc. Chips. Unfortunately, each muffin in my batch is 2 smart points. It’s only 1 extra point but I look at it this way, I could have had 2 muffins instead of 1 ☹️

    Just made these and they were pretty good! I didn’t have a sugar substitute so I used 1 tbspn regular sugar so it turned it to 2 point muffins. Definitely will make again!

    Sometimes I just like a larger muffin, so if I make six muffins would that only be two points? If it’s not too much trouble when you post your muffins recipe could you put the points if you only make six their times and I will sacrifice points to get a larger muffin. Thank you for all you do to help us Weight Watchers on our weight-loss journey.

    Is there anything to substitute for the protein powder? That brand has carrageenan which makes me sick. And angel food isn’t a common flavor! Thanks

      Hi Sandy,

      If you prefer not to use protein powder, you can omit it altogether and use 1/3 cup more of the Kodiak pancake mix. As stated in the note section.

      Thanks so much,

      Linds

    I prefer no chocolate chips, will it be sweet enough with with only 3 TBS of monkfruit sweetener and no chocolate chips? Or does it really need the chocolate chips?

      Hi Jen,

      These muffins can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days or they can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to a month.
