Why these WW pumpkin muffins are awesome
These cake mix and pumpkin weight watchers muffins could not be easier to make and they just smell amazing while baking up. This is one of my favorite pumpkin recipes and I love that they are only 3 ww points each. Just five ingredients are needed to make them: Pillsbury Sugar Free Cake mix (I used classic yellow, but you can use any variety), an egg, water, pumpkin puree and cinnamon. My kids love to help me make these, so you know it's an easy recipe!
Ingredients
- box of cake mix (sugar free, yellow)
- can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- water
- egg
- cinnamon
How to make weight watcher pumpkin muffins
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 with cooking spray and fill up each of the muffin cups with ¼ cup of the batter mixture. You can also you muffin liners for easier cleanup. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.
