WEIGHT WATCHER'S APPLESAUCE SPICE MUFFINS (POINTS PLUS-2 PTS)

Weight Watcher's Applesauce Spice Muffins (Points Plus-2 Pts) image

This recipe is a variation of the 1 pt Banana Bread recipe, which ends up being 2 pts with the new points system. I jazzed it up with spices and used applesauce, though just like the other recipe you can vary the ingredients.

Time 30m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon sea salt (regular salt is also fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional -- I really like cinnamon)
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat Oven 350 degrees.
Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray.
Mix all dry ingredients to equally distribute.
Add applesauce.
Don't let rest, put into muffin tin 3/4 full.
Bake 20-22 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right apples. Use a variety that is tart and flavorful, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape better when baked and will give the muffins a delicious flavor.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Use fresh spices. Freshly ground spices will give the muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh spices, you can use store-bought spices, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
Don't overbake the muffins. Overbaked muffins will be dry and crumbly. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to set.

Conclusion:

These applesauce spice muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast or a snack. They are moist and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the applesauce and spices. These muffins are also a good source of fiber and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these applesauce spice muffins a try!
