How To Make the High Protein Kodiak Cake Muffins

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the Kodiak Cakes mix and cinnamon, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the muffins dense instead of fluffy.

Step 4: Fold in Mix-Ins

Gently fold in blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts if using. This step allows you to customize the muffins based on what you’re craving.

Step 5: Fill and Bake

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and Enjoy

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.


Serving and Storing High Protein Kodiak Cake Muffins

Serve these muffins warm with a smear of almond butter or a drizzle of extra honey for a naturally sweet finish. They pair beautifully with coffee in the morning or a protein smoothie after a workout.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the muffins individually wrapped for up to 3 months. Simply reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds when ready to enjoy.
