WW PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS
This is an adaptation of recipe 71732 to lower calories, fat and, of course, WW points. I entered all of the ingredients that had points into recipe builder and came up with 2 points per muffin when 25 muffins are made. These muffins are moist and are bursting with flavor. This is a very hearty snack or breakfast. I eat mine for breakfast with a banana

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a large mixing bowl combine pumpkin, water, sugar, splenda (if using), applesauce, egg and egg whites.
- Beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
- In a separate bowl combine both flours, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and stir until combined. (I like to use a pastry cutter so make sure the baking soda and powder are evenly distributed).
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, beating until smooth.
- Spray muffin pan cups very well with Pam. You can use cupcake papers but the muffins tend to stick to it.
- Measure 1/3 cup of batter into each muffin cup. There will be 1/3 cup left over for the 25th muffin. I usually toss it rather than bake one muffin.
- Bake for 20-25 min or until toothpick inserted into center of cupcakes comes out clean.
- Tap on bottom of pan to dislodge muffins.
- ENJOY!

Steps:
- 1. in large bowl, mix all ingredients together. The batter will be very thick!
- 2. fill lined muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a richer flavor than canned puree. To make your own, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
These Weight Watchers Pumpkin Spice Muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these muffins in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
