Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins
{Pin It}

I love the flavor of pumpkin, and I really like that it is so good for you – those two things don’t always go hand in hand.

Pumpkin has fiber, antioxidants, beta carotene, iron, Vitamins A,C,K, and E. It makes for a great ingredient in many recipes, and it also keeps goodies moist instead of dry like many “healthy” recipes.  These Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins come in at right about 4 PointsPlus per muffin.

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins:

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 cup canned Pumpkin
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup skim or 2% milk
1 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
½ tsp. Salt
2 eggs

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Line muffin tin with cupcake wrappers.
  3. Beat applesauce, brown sugar, milk and eggs in a medium bowl until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl stir together; flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add flour mixture to wet ingredients a little at a time until fully incorporated.
  6. Fill wrappers 2/3 of the way full.
  7. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center.

Serving size = 12 muffins

    Can i use fresh pumpkin in place of canned pumpkin? I’m in Australia, and i don’t think I’ve ever seen canned pumpkin here. Thanks.

      Yes, just ensure that the fresh pumpkin puree is drained well. I used fresh pumpkin while in France to make a pie for Thanksgiving and it was a bit wet for the recipe on my first attempt. I personally think fresh pumpkin puree tastes better – it’s just more work 🙂
