Sprinkle Kodiak Muffins Recipe

These low calorie and macro friendly Sprinkle Kodiak Muffins are the perfect treat to whip up. Who can go wrong with sprinkles?  The muffins are so easy to whip up, and the recipe is easy to double or triple for weekday meal prep. They are the perfect afterschool snack, grab-and-go breakfast, or active evening snack! 

If you are like anyone else on a healthy eating journey, you have had some bad tasting protein snacks! Before discovering Kodiak mixes, I had never tried a protein muffin that I loved; most were dry and bland. These muffins are delicious and add more protein to my food intake! They help to satisfy the sweet tooth!

Why You’ll Love These Low Calorie Kodiak Muffins

• A healthier treat that is perfect for your sweet tooth
• Uses no butter or oil
• Easy meal prep for breakfast or snacks
• Doubles as a macro-friendly dessert
• Sprinkles!

Sprinkle Kodiak Cake Muffins Ingredients:

• Eggs 
• Unsweetened Apple Sauce-Using sweetened applesauce will add points to the recipe due to the sugar in it.
• Brown Sugar
• Vanilla 
• Milk-I used skim milk for my recipe
• Kodiak Cake Pancake Mix
• Baking Powder
• Sprinkles– I used softer rainbow sprinkles or jimmies

How To Make Muffins With Kodiak Pancake Mix:

Grease your silicone muffin pan with oil, or line your muffin pan with muffin liners. I like silicone because there is no trash! I am sure I am not the only mom who has to worry about where the kids put their garbage!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and get started on mixing. 

Combine all your wet ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a whisk. 

Next, mix in your dry ingredients except for your sprinkles and mix well. 

Slowly fold in your sprinkles; you can reserve some to add to the top of the muffins before baking. 

Scoop into your muffin pan. I use a potato scoop to scoop the batter into the muffin pan. It makes for a much easier and cleaner process.

Bake for about 15 minutes and start to check the doneness of the muffins. 

Enjoy!!! Now Bella was calling these birthday cake muffins as well as funfetti. When we made these Kodiak had not released their Kodiak Birthday cake mix so we will be trying that one soon!

Baking Tips For The Best Chocolate Kodiak Muffins

• Use a potato or ice cream scooper to scoop the batter into the muffin pan. It’s a much easier and more uniform way to fill the muffin cups.
• Test the muffin for doneness with a toothpick or small food skewer. The toothpick will come out batter-free; you may have some melted rainbow sprinkles on it.

Weight Watchers point Breakdown

Now, be sure to plug in all your ingredients on your own. Some brands will vary in point value, and the number of muffins you make in a batch will affect the point value. Following the recipe, my muffins worked out to 2 points each.

What Makes These Muffins Low Calorie And Macro Friendly

According to the recipe, the Macros are 59 calories, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein. While these are not the best nutrition stats for many, they are a better option than other muffins you could grab or have.

Flavor Variations For Kodiak Muffins

• Mix in Bananas
• Peanut butter
• White chocolate chips

How To Make These With More Protein

While the recipe is not wrong, you can alter it. It does take experimenting to get it right sometimes, but that’s half the fun of baking.

• Adding PB fit powder-Be sure to increase the moisture a bit if the batter seems extra dry
• Nonfat Greek Yogurt
• Egg Whites
• Protein powder (birthday cake powder would be amazing in this)

How To Store Funfetti Muffins

Store in an air-tight container or bag. These can be stored on the counter for up to 5 days or can be frozen. If freezing, thaw and eat within 90 days of baking them.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.
