⭐Why Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins Are Awesome
- This awesome pumpkin recipe makes muffins that are only 3 WW points each.
- You only need 5 ingredients to make them.
- They are the perfect muffins for fall!
🥣Ingredient Notes
- Box of cake mix - You'll want a sugar-free cake mix. I used yellow cake mix, but a sugar-free chocolate cake mix would work as well.
- Can of pumpkin - Pureed pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Cinnamon - I love the warmth that cinnamon adds to these muffins. Feel free to substitute pumpkin pie spice.
📋How to Make Weight Watcher Pumpkin Muffins
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl.
STEP 2: Make sure to mix until all of the ingredients have been fully incorporated.
STEP 3: Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray and fill up each of the muffin cups with ¼ cup of the batter mixture.
STEP 4: To test for doneness, when the cooking time has ended, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
STEP 5: When they are done baking, remove them from the oven and the muffin tins and place them on a cooling rack to cool.
These 5 ingredient pumpkin muffins are absolutely delicious and at 3 smart points each, they make a great breakfast when paired with fruit. I also enjoy them as a snack or dessert.
👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: This Weight Watchers pumpkin muffin recipe makes 15 muffins, so I generally use a 12 count muffin pan and a 6 count muffin pan so I can cook the batch at the same time.
Tip 2: Since this uses sugar-free cake mix, you will want to limit your consumption of the muffins to 1-2 a day. Sugar-free cake mix contains sugar alcohols which could have a laxative effect when taken in large quantities.
Tip 3: You can also you muffin liners for easier cleanup.
🤷🏻♀️Recipe FAQs
Can I make this with a chocolate cake mix instead?
If you are a lover of that pumpkin chocolate flavor, you can substitute sugar-free Devil's food cake mix for the yellow cake mix.
Can I make these muffins in a mini muffin pan?
Yes, you can. Simply adjust the cooking time to 10-13 minutes.
How do I store these muffins?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can then refrigerate for 2 more days.

What size muffin tin are you using? 6-8-12?
Vicky
That should work fine Robin.
Robin
All I could find was a keto sugar free cake mix. Would I still follow the recipe as is?
Vicky
Sorry, I just corrected it. 325 degrees is correct.
Meghan Anderson
One part of the recipe says 350 degrees and another part says 325. Which do you recommend?
Amy
Do you have the nutrition facts on these? Calories, carbs. Protein?

When I calculate these I get 0 pots. What am I missing
Margie
Just curious, but I actually got 18 muffins using a cupcake tin and filled the cups 1/2 full instead of 1/4 full. Were you perhaps using a larger tin? I will count these as 4 SP just to play it safe. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
