Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups protein pancake mix I used Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Powercakes Mix.
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- The first step is to preheat your oven to 375° F. Grease or line the cups of a muffin tin and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk the avocado oil, egg, and vanilla extract together. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Do NOT over-mix. Add the pumpkin puree, again mixing just until combined. The batter may look slightly lumpy or curdled, but this is okay. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Fill each muffin tin about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool before eating.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
