Pumpkin Flaxseed Protein Muffins

THIS WEEKS FALL FIND

This weeks’ find is AMAZING! A few weeks ago I found out you could bake with my favorite pancake and waffle mix, Kodiak Cakes! Then, just this week I found they make a Pumpkin Flaxseed mix…so exciting! There is a recipe right on the box, but I swayed from that to add more protein and make it a bit more healthy. See recipe below.

PUMPKIN FLAXSEED PROTEIN MUFFIN RECIPE

As I mentioned, I love making Protein Muffins. For starters my kids love them and they make a great snack for me as well. I love that I am sneaking in more protein for my family and me. I’ve made Dark Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins before (Message me if you’d like that recipe as well).
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes + Flapjack Mix
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
2/3 – 1 cup Almond Milk
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 serving of Vanilla Protein Powder (I use Amazing Grass Pure Vanilla)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp honey
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (optional, I didn’t use the first time and they tasted fine, the second time I used and it added more moistness to the muffin and pumpkin flavor of course)
 
INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Lightly grease or line a muffin tin.
3. In a bowl mix Kodiak mix with baking soda.
4. In a separate bowl whisk egg, milk, yogurt, and vanilla together.
5. In a small bowl, melt honey and coconut oil together in the microwave until melted.
6. Add the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. Whisk in the coconut oil and honey together.
7. Lastly, add in optional pumpkin puree.
8. Scoop batter into 12 large muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

 

HEALTHY CHOICES

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I do. It really has been a game changer for me. Not only am I getting the much-needed protein in our diets, but I am also fulfilling a Fall favorite craving. You see I love everything Pumpkin flavored! Enjoy and share friends! Happy Thanksgiving!
