These Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins are perfect for getting you in the mood for fall! I mean, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back already!   The bummer about muffins is that they aren’t always the best for your waistline. 

 (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) In addition, this post contains affiliate links that will make me a small commission when used to order online. 

Have you seen the Pumpkin Spice Weight Watchers Muffins floating around Pinterest?? My cousin pinned this recipe from 2 Bees in a Pod, and I knew we had to try them!  We are always whipping up the -> Lemon Muffins, so it was the perfect time to make these. I love how easy they are to make; my kids mix both batches for me!!

I hate dealing with muffin liners, so the silicone mini muffin pan gets a workout in the kitchen!! Now, I seem to have the worst luck with metal pans, I seem to burn everything in them, so silicone pans are the way to bake for me when I can’t find glass pans.   Amazon has a great price on them, plus you can order one on Amazon, so you don’t even have to leave the house, order, and bam UPS man is at the door, saving you time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2-day delivery!  (Don’t have Prime? You NEED it for easy online shopping!!)

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.

New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly allowance, which is handy when you need more points.

I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, blue plan, green plan, purple plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal. Head on over ->here to get a month for free.

Pumpkin Spice WW Muffins Ingredients:

  • Spice Cake Mix– You can swap this out with a different flavor of cake mix, like white or yellow, but the spice adds a good flavor to the muffins.
  • Pumpkin-Be sure to use one that doesn’t have extras added to it as this will affect the calories and weight watchers points on the recipe.
  • Water

How To Make Weight Watchers Pumpkin Muffins:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the water and pumpkin in a bowl with a whisk.

Canned Pumpkin mixed with water in a bowl

Mix your spice cake into your pumpkin and water mixture. I tend to do it slowly as the mixture thickness up, and the batter will be thick

Line or grease your cupcake pan.  With the silicone pan, I use a paper towel wettened with vegetable oil to grease the muffin cups.

Cookie Scoop Putting Batter in muffin pan for Pumpkin Spice Mini Muffins

Now I use a cookie scoop to fill my muffin cups up.  You will want to fill about half to 3/4 full since the muffins will rise a bit. I have the worst luck with scooping even cookies or scoops of batter so this is perfect for me to use in the kitchen.

Bake for about 15-22 minutes, depending on your oven.

Oven Gloves With Baked Pumpkin Spice Muffins In Silicone Pan

One of my other kitchen favorites is my oven gloves! Now I am not the most graceful in most situations add in a hot oven or pans, and it gets even worse.  I love using these bbq gloves in the kitchen, too, since I can grab the pain and be in better control.   The kids also love using them, which I feel is much safer than regular potholders.

      well if you get 48 for 1 pvv each , and your only getting one fourth of the amount
      they would be 4 pvv each , according to my calculations

      I have never tried that. I would start with half the baking time of a normal cake and just watch it. Let me know if you try it and how long it takes you.

      I need to try freezing them! With three kids they disappear fast in my house! I would try a container and separate out with paper so they don’t stick together! Let me know if you try freezing them and how it goes!

      My family loves Pumpkin donut muffins from Perkins. So I thought I would give these a try as mini muffins (this recipe makes 56 mini muffins, bake time is 14 mins.) my 5 yr old twins did all the mixing. They were a super huge hit for my family! I will be making these again, and the lemon ones!

    I May these this morning and I was very disappointed. The batter was thick like it was supposed to be and I filled the cupcake papers 2/3 full. I baked them for 25 minutes and took them out when they looked done. I tested them all with a toothpick and they were all done. After I let them cool for a bit I tasted them and they almost tasted like they were uncooked because they were so heavy and it almost tasted like just the pumpkin that I put in. I don’t think I’ll ever make them again because I am not impressed at all. I don’t even know who will eat them because they’re not good. It was a waste of a can of pumpkin and a cake mix.

    Made these this morning. Used yellow cake mix, 1 egg, 1 cup water 3 t. Pumpkin pie spice and a splash of vanilla.
    After whisking spice in the cake mix put the dry in the mixer bowl and added the rest of ingredients then mixed together. Turned the mixer up high and let it mix a minute or two. Made 24 large muffins and 12 miniature muffins.
    Used Trader Joe 15oz can organic pumpkin.
    Light and airy! Delicious
