Skinny Pumpkin Muffins



Are you are ready for Fall as I am?  Colorful leaves, corn mazes, cider, sweaters, and PUMPKIN!  What's not to love?  Well, I have a fabulous Weight Watcher's recipe to share with you today for Skinny Pumpkin Muffins.  I found this at See Cupcake Run.  Easy, delicious, and skinny!!

Ingredients:
1 box of spice cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
cinnamon (to garnish)
non-stick cooking spray


1.  Preheat the oven to 350F.  Spray muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.  I wouldn't use liners - they'll stick!!  The recipe says it's supposed to make 24 cupcakes - I made 12 and a few little bundt cakes. 


2.  Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  Fill each tin 2/3 full & sprinkle some cinnamon on top if desired.  

3.  Bake for 20-22 minutes. 





These are so cute to make as mini bundt cakes!




These are so moist and delicious!  Make sure to pace yourself - downing the whole batch cancels out the skinny part.  

ENJOY!

  2. Hi Allison! Visiting from Tuesday Trivia and following you via Bloglovin'! I lost weight on Weight Watchers about 6 years ago so I LOVE their recipes....how did I miss this one? I love pumpkin too! So, I was thinking maybe I can use this recipe in my new mini donut pan? Why not?

    1. That's a great idea! You could make a little glaze to drizzle over them and feel like you're actually getting a donut! YUM! :-) Let me know how they turn out or send me a picture!

    1. My mom used to cook her own pumpkin - I'm sure it's even more amazing versus the canned pumpkin. I know it's definitely a process. I LOVE pumpkin! Let me know how you like them!
