Did you know you can use Muniq shake powder to create some amazing zero-sugar treats in your own kitchen? That’s right. We’ve taken the guesswork out of low-carb baking, starting with a delicious take on pumpkin chocolate-chip muffins.

This is the perfect recipe to try if you just can’t wait for autumn to break out the pumpkin recipes. These Muniq Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Protein Muffins will not only get you your baked-good fix, but deliver it with 15g of prebiotic fiber — featuring gut-healthy resistant starch — and 15g of protein to both feed the good bacteria in your gut and keep you full.

Just like Muniq shakes, this recipe is delicious and indulgent, but is much lower in net carbs than normal muffins (only 13g net carbs per muffin compared to about 25g net carbs for a typical muffin). These are a healthy way to get your prebiotic resistant starch fiber and a bit of extra indulgence!
