Ingredients for the High Protein Kodiak Cake Muffins

Muffins don’t have to be overly sweet or carb-heavy to taste good. This recipe proves that with a blend of clean ingredients designed to nourish you.

Kodiak Cakes mix: This is the base of your muffin. It brings both structure and protein to the recipe, eliminating the need for traditional flour.

Eggs: Help bind everything together while adding even more protein.

Milk: Adds moisture and works with the Kodiak mix to create a soft crumb. You can use dairy or non-dairy based on your needs.

Maple syrup or honey: A natural sweetener that brings gentle sweetness without processed sugar.

Vanilla extract: Adds depth and warmth to the flavor.

Add-ins (berries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.): Optional but highly recommended to personalize your muffins and boost texture.

How To Make the High Protein Kodiak Cake Muffins

Step 1: Prep Your Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with oil spray.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Add the Kodiak Mix

Gradually stir in the Kodiak Cakes mix until just combined. Don’t overmix or the muffins can turn dense.

Step 4: Fold in Your Add-ins

If using berries, chocolate chips, or nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 5: Bake

Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
