    Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins

    If you thought muffin recipes were a thing of the past, whip up these awesome pumpkin muffins with just five ingredients. They are perfect for fall and only 3 WW points each! They're simple, delicious, and the ideal treat for those cozy autumn days without breaking the calorie bank.

    Weight Watchers Recipes

    Even if you are not usually one to follow a strict diet, Weight Watchers recipes are a great way to eat healthier while not sacrificing flavor. If you love the pumpkin flavor in these muffins, give weight watchers pumpkin soup a try. Here are some of our favorite recipes for staying on plan:

    • 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels
    • Weight Watchers Egg Muffins
    • 0 Point Chili in the Crock Pot
    • One Point Cheesecake

    Ingredients For Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins

    • 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 With Cake Mix

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl.

    mixing pumpkin muffin batter

    Make sure to mix until all of the ingredients have been fully incorporated.

    pumpkin muffin batter and muffin pan

    Grease a muffin pan with cooking spray and fill up each of the muffin cups with ¼ cup of the batter mixture.

    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.

    Tips For Making WW Pumpkin Muffins

    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.

    What Can I Serve With Pumpkin Muffins?

    These muffins are great with fresh fruit, such as sliced apples or berries, on the side. Fruit doesn't add any points so it's a good choice. If you are looking to serve these with some protein, Greek yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese or a boiled egg work to make an easy breakfast.

    FAQs For WW Pumpkin Muffins

    Can I make pumpkin muffins 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. This swap will give the muffins a rich, decadent flavor that complements the pumpkin.

    Can I make WW muffins in a mini muffin pan?

    Yes, you can definitely make WW muffins in a mini muffin pan. When using a mini muffin pan, it's recommended to adjust the cooking time to around 10-13 minutes to ensure they bake perfectly. This way, you can enjoy delicious mini versions of your favorite WW muffins in no time!

    How do I store low calorie pumpkin muffins?

    To store low-calorie pumpkin muffins, cool them completely before transferring them to an airtight container.

    Keeping them at room temperature for up to 3 days is recommended to maintain freshness. If you wish to extend their shelf life, you can refrigerate them for an additional 2 days.

    Pumpkin Muffins

    If you are looking to spluge on a pumpkin muffin recipe, there are lots of great choices. They will use a lot of WW points, but hey sometimes you just want a decadent and guilty pleasure. There are some of our favorite pumpkin muffins:

    • Air Fryer Pumpkin Muffins
    • Pumpkin Muffins With Crumb Topping
    • Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffin
    • Mini Pumpkin Oat Muffins

    Weight Watchers Essentials

    There are some kitchen items that can help you on your Weight Watchers journey. A food scale ensures precise portions for staying on track. A bathroom scale is great for tracking your progress. Plus, I love to have some Weight Watchers cookbooks on hand for inspiration.

      All I could find was a keto sugar free cake mix. Would I still follow the recipe as is?
