Ingredients
- 1box Kodiak’s Double Dark Chocolate Power Bake Muffin Mix
- 1scoop whey protein powder, vanillaoptional
- 1/2cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 2large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla cashew milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesaucean alternative to using oil
- 1tsp 100% pure vanilla extract
- 1/4cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, minioptional, but recommended for increased delicious-factor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Using a 12-cup muffin pan, line each cup with muffin liners or grease each cup, then set aside (like I had to do, since I was out of liners).
- Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl and mix/blend until smooth.
- Fill 12 muffin cups evenly. Cups will be close to full.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes. Note: Check to see if done by inserting a toothpick, which should not have much muffin batter residue after pulling back out, although you may get some residue from those gooey chocolate chips. If still uncooked, continue to bake until completely cooked, checking every 2-4 minutes. My oven cooks these muffins completely around 21 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Side Note:
Since I ran out of muffin liners, I removed my muffins from the pan immediately once cooked and cooled on a wire rack.
P.S. These are best enjoyed slightly warm, so those chocolate chips are a bit melty!
