1 Point Protein Muffins
These banana chocolate chip protein muffins use Kodiak pancake mix for structure and three ripe bananas for moisture. The batter is lightly sweetened and makes a convenient breakfast or snack. Because the original formula does not specify a yield, divide the finished batch evenly and calculate servings according to the number of muffins you actually bake.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups Kodiak pancake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 eggs
- 90 Lily’s baking chips
- 3 very ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon, to taste
- 3 packets Splenda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin pan with liners or cooking spray.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, water, vanilla, Splenda, and cinnamon.
- Add the pancake mix and stir just until no dry streaks remain.
- Fold in the measured baking chips, distributing them through the batter.
- Portion the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes. Check that the centers are set before removing the pan from the oven. Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer the muffins to a rack.
Preparation Tips
Use bananas with plenty of brown spotting; they mash easily and contribute more sweetness. Avoid overmixing once the pancake mix is added because excessive stirring can produce a firmer texture. Count or weigh the chips consistently if you want the nutrition calculation to be reproducible.
Pan size affects both yield and baking time. Smaller muffins may finish near the beginning of the stated range, while larger muffins can require more time. Start checking at 15 minutes rather than assuming every oven and pan will behave identically.
Storage
Cool completely before storing. Refrigerate the muffins in a covered container for several days, or freeze them individually for longer storage. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat gently if desired. Do not seal warm muffins, since trapped steam can make the tops damp.
WW Points Note
An older one-point statement may not match your result. The exact Kodiak product, baking chip quantity, banana size, final muffin count, and current WW rules can all change the value. Calculate the complete batch using your products and divide by the actual yield.
