Each snickerdoodle muffin has 3 Smart Points.
*I used PEScience Select Snickerdoodle protein powder. You can use my affiliate discount code mason to save 15% on PEScience products. If you have vanilla Select, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter.
**Swerve Brown Sugar is a zero-calorie brown sugar substitute. You can substitute with light brown sugar.
***I used Land O' Lakes light butter with canola.
