1 Egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
2 Tablespoons Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling)
3 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix
2 Tablespoons Big Train Spiced Chai Fit Frappe Protein Powder
1 scoop (1/4 cup-ish) Vanilla Protein Powder
Pinch salt
Mix egg, milk, syrup, pumpkin and oil and combine thoroughly. If you are watching your fat grams you could ax the oil and sub NSA applesauce but 1 T of oil for the whole batch is not a lot and I think they are tastier with it and doesn't compete with the pumpkin flavor. In a separate bowl, mix pancake mix, protein powders and salt. Tip dry into wet and stir till combined. Pour into a non stick 12 cup mini muffin pan that has been sprayed with Pam.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or till toothpick inserted comes out clean. Makes 12 moist, delicious, mini muffins.
Cooks Note: No Spiced Chai Protein? Get some. No seriously, it's a yummy shake or warm drink in the winter but then you can make my granola and yogurt dip too. Really can't wait to get it 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice and 1-1/2 -ish T of extra Vanilla Protein will work. But... really get the Spiced Chai, it's soooo good.
Optional: You can add cheese filling. I usually do about 1/2 the batch with filling and half I leave plain. Allow muffins to cool slightly. Using a drinking straw poke a little hole in the center of each mini muffin and pipe filling inside. The filling really makes them like a healthier version of Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Muffins but those suckers are 420 calories a piece (most often paired with a 380 cal Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte) ouch?! that's no snack. P.S. Mine are about 40 cals.
Shelly's Cheese Filling
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese
1 teaspoon Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake Pudding Mix, dry
2 teaspoons Sugar Free Vanilla Torani Syrup
Mix till well combined. Spoon into a piping bag or a snack sized baggie that has the corner snipped off. Seal baggie with tape. Pipe into mini muffins. This is plenty for 12 mini muffins. If you don't want to pipe it you can always slice them in half and smear it in the middle. Leftover filling is also great smeared on sliced apples.

Is there a caffeine free fit frappe alternative?
Not aware of one. The Chai Tea Powder in the Spiced Chai Fit Frappe is listed as Darjeeling and Black Tea. Email them or message them on Facebook.
You are a genius.
I've been craving pumpkin. Thanks!!
Shelley these are BETTER than Starbucks! I tasted my sister's pumpkin muffin at Starbucks last week and it was too sweet and too oily for me. These are delicious! Thanks for sharing. One question - can I freeze them with the cheese filling? Thanks
i love this one!
I'm so glad they are being enjoyed!!
Freezing them... yes... though they aren't as pretty for sure... they taste fine defrosted though. They are great 3 days or so in the fridge.
i need help finding max protein that you use. where do you buy it from?? thank you
Hi Sancie, I don't really use it anymore... they changed the formula and I have a little of the old one but I haven't ordered it in a long time. Similar flavor wise is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016685ZE?creativeASIN=B0016685ZE&linkCode=w01&linkId=6Y563O2PIYU6IQM3&ref_=as_sl_pc_ss_til&tag=theworlda074c-20
I just tried the newer recipe you posted. Yumminess! Bummer about the chai powderthough. I have some left over myself. Just ordered pumpkin quest bars fyi. Can't wait to try to name those and dip into ricotta mix.
Jules, Sancie is talking about a different protein I used to use not the Chai... that is available. Looking forward to trying the Pumpkin Quest though it's coated... so probably not going to be great for "cookies"
thank you for all your help love the ideas would love to have the giveaway thank you
Sara Breedlove hifromsara2000@gmail.com I follow you on Pintrest, Facebook, and Twitter..(Just can't get enough) :)
These look great! Do you think if I didn't have chia protein powder I could substitute pumpkin pie spice and extra vanilla protein powder?
April, Thank you! Yes you could not quite the same but yes it would work fine... the Spiced Chai powder is really great though and I have a ton of other recipes you can use it in... a granola that is soooo good. Hope you enjoy them!
