English Muffin Pizzas are the perfect summer-time lunch and even the perfect weeknight dinner! I personally love how easy they are to make and the fact I can easily customize them to what each kid likes since it would be to easy if everyone liked the same thing! Plus I can change them up to fit into my Smartpoints for the day on Weight Watchers. (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. )
Now we eat English Muffin Pizzas year-round but they are one of my favorites for tailgating! I can have pizza and not sacrifice a lot of my daily Weight Watchers Smart Points on just pizza! Plus when the kids are home on break or for the summer it makes for a frugal meal for them to eat at home. I often pick up English muffins at the bread store and freeze them for eating later on.

English Muffin Pizza Directions:
Start out and preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut your English Muffins in half
Spead your English Muffin halves on a cookie/baking sheet
Spread each half with sauce. Now for the two halves that were mine, I measured out 1/4 cup of sauce since 1/8 cup and 1/4 cup of the sauce was 1 point to make sure I didn’t go too much (I actually ended up with about 1/8 cup on my pizzas)
Top with cheese and other toppings, I tend to put my other toppings underneath the cheese.
**For the Weight Watchers pizzas for me I cut some Canadian bacon in quarters to make my pizza. I actually snacked on 2 pieces and used only one piece on my pizza. I also like cheesy pizzas and knew I had a lot of activity points so I did more cheese. You can use a fat-free cheese or reduce the cheese amount to lower your Smartpoints value for the pizza.**’
Bake for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees in your oven.
You can tell how cheesy these pizzas, plus it’s a great way to get the kids in the kitchen with you cooking and get them started on cooking. My kids have been helping making this since they were two, they love to top their own pizzas and make them better than their siblings!
Now when I first did these on Weight Watchers Points Plus value they were lower points. Now on the new plan, they are more points but they can be reduced with small substations to the ingredients. Easy substitutions are to swap out for light English muffin, wraps, or use fat-free cheese.
Now with any Weight Watchers recipe be sure to replug your own ingredients into E-tools. Every brand can vary on their points and sometimes people track differently then we do. I, for instance, don’t track milk on the rare occasion I do end up drinking it.
