Ingredients
  

Pumpkin Muffins:

  • 2 cups Kodiak pumpkin pancake mix
  • 3/4 cup caramel protein shake
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar substitute
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 large egg

Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar substitute
  • 1 tsp maple extract (or vanilla)
  • 1 large egg yolk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.  
  • Combine the Kodiak pumpkin pancake mix, caramel protein shake, brown sugar substitute, pumpkin puree, and the large egg in a blender or large bowl. Blend or stir until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, monkfruit sugar, maple extract, and egg yolk until creamy and smooth. Put the cream cheese filling in a piping bag for easy filling.
  • Pour the muffin batter into the prepared tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full—pipe in a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the cream cheese) comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • These muffins make 12-14 servings and can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for more extended storage.
