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

 

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, ONE Smartpoint on all 3 WW plans, and has 20 grams of protein for just 1 scoop!

Ingredients:

 

Directions

  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 pancake mix, pumpkin spice, cinnamon. baking powder.
  4. Add dry ingredients into the wet slowly as you stir. Stir just until combined. Then fold in 1/2 of the no sugar added chocolate chips.
  5. Pour into muffin foil liners (or spray the muffin tin with non stick cooking spray).  Add 5-6 (no sugar added) chocolate chips on top of each muffin. 
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until an inserted knife or toothpick comes out clean.

Servings: Makes 12 full size muffins

GREEN: 1 SmartPoint for 1 muffin or 2 servings for 3 Smart Points if using egg whites or 2 SmartPoints per muffin if using 1 whole egg

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.

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

  5. 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!

  8. 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 ☹️

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  12. Hi from the DR
    I just baked a batch of the Pumpkin Chocolate chip muffins, it looks great, just waiting for it to cool
    Can’t wait to taste❣️

  13. 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

  14. 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?

    Reply

    • 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.

  16. I have made several of your recipes and have always been amazed how delicious they are. These are no different. Just absolutely delicious!! Thank you so much!

    Reply

  17. Do you think I can put the mixture in a small tin, instead of the muffin tin? If I cut it into 12 pieces, would the points be the same?

    Reply

  18. Can you use any other types of flour beside the Kodiak? Like coconut or almond? Something gluten free thank you!
