Pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite things in the world and not just during fall either. I love to enjoy pumpkin muffins any time of year. They are such a wonderful treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea while cuddled up with a good book. Luckily, I can still enjoy the delicious flavor of pumpkin muffins while following the Weight Watchers Freestyle program. This recipe for Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins will make delicious 3 point treats that you will love!
Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins
These Weight Watchers pumpkin muffins could not be easier to make and they just smell amazing while baking up. Just five ingredients are needed to make them, Pillsbury Sugar Free Cake mix (I used classic yellow, but it also comes in chocolate), an egg, water, pumpkin puree and cinnamon.
Start out by mixing all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
Make sure to mix until all of the ingredients have been fully incorporated.
Grease a muffin pan and fill up each cup with 1/4 cup of the batter. 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 them all at the same time.
When they are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool.
These muffins are absolutely delicious and at 3 points each, they make a great breakfast when paired with fruit. I also enjoy them as a snack.
Keep in mind that because 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.

Make it two of us – I love pumpkin muffins and, in fact, pumpkin everything – no matter when. This is such a great recipe to try – especially with only 3 WW points!
Margie says
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.
