Happy September, friends! September is my favorite month—crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and cozy evenings make it perfect for baking. The air smells like autumn, leaves are turning, and pumpkins are everywhere. These Kodiak Pumpkin Muffins capture all of that cozy fall flavor.
As a recipe blogger I love fall for creating comfort dishes like stews, chilis, soups, and of course pumpkin baked treats. These muffins are quick to make using Kodiak protein pancake mix, which boosts protein and keeps each muffin to just one Weight Watchers point.

Ingredients
Ingredients- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

How to make Kodiak Pumpkin Muffins
How to make Kodiak Pumpkin Muffins- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray; I recommend skipping liners so the muffins brown nicely.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the almond milk. Stir in the pumpkin and vanilla until combined.
- Add the Kodiak Cakes mix, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle a bit over each muffin for a sweet topping.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and serve warm.
- Enjoy!

Tips & storage

- You can bake the batter in a square pan for about 20 minutes to make pumpkin snack cakes.
- If you don’t have pumpkin puree, mashed banana or applesauce can be used as a substitute, though the pumpkin flavor will be missing.
