PREP TIME : 5 minutes
COOK TIME : 16 minutes
ADDITIONAL TIME : 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME : 25 minutes
Ingredients:
-
1 and 1/2 cup Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake Power Cakes, Flapjack and Waffle Baking Mix
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
-
1/2 cup water (give or take depending on the batter consistency)
-
1/4 cup zero point granulated white sugar substitute ( I use Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener)
-
1 large egg or 2 large egg whites, at room temperature.
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries *see note section
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, water, applesauce & sugar substitute.
-
Blend together. Add kodiak pancake mix and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
-
Fold in fresh or frozen blueberries. ( I usually add more on top of batter and cover them a bit with the batter.)
-
Spray the muffin tin with cooking spray or use muffin foil- liners.
-
Pour batter into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.
-
Makes regular size 12 muffins
Notes:
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for a day, in the refrigerator for up to five days, or in the freezer for up to two months.
- f using frozen blueberries- I recommend thawing them out completely and dusting them with a little flour. The flour will make them rise to the top instead of the bottom of the batter and will ensure the batter doesn’t turn purple.
- 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
- 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.
- For extra protein: you may substitute a 1/2 cup Kodiak Pancake mix for 1/2 cup (100-110 calorie) flavor protein powder (or about 2 scoops of Devotion Angel Food Cake protein powder)
Smartpoints: GREEN: 1 SmartPoint for 1 muffin if using egg whites or 2 SmartPoints for 2 muffins if using egg whites BLUE/PURPLE: 1 SmartPoints for 1 muffin or 2 Smartpoints for 2 muffins
Tips:
-
Eggs should be at room temperature – this helps create a smooth mixture that traps air and expands when heated in the oven. The expansion makes the muffins fluffy and light.
-
Fill your cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full. If you fill them more than that, they’ll have no room left to expand, and they will collapse. If you fill them less than that, there will be so much space for them to expand that they won’t be able to reach. Filling the muffin tins 3/4 is the secret!
-
DO NOT OVER MIX – If you mix the muffin batter too much it can create a VERY dense muffin with huge pockets of air inside.
