Apple Oatmeal 3 Point Weight Watchers Muffins

Heathersmilez's Note:

These are easy and turned out beautifully on my first attempt! If I made them in jumbo muffin tins (which yes, I own!) they would be Starbucks worthy at a fraction of the cost and sooooo low fat! Jumbo would only be 6 points (compared to McDonalds low fat 9 point muffins or fruit and fibre for 12). I used granny smith apples but you can use any.

We really liked these tasty, healthy muffins! I ended up doubling the amount of milk to make a batter. I'm not sure how the others got anything more than a crumbly mixture without extra milk! I also added a few tablespoons of chopped walnuts, and subbed half the white flour for whole wheat.

I agree with DuChick, I ended up with a dry crumbly batter which looked like topping for apple crisp. I added an egg to help it along. Tasted good, though,,,

These are great. 3 points apiece. I substituted applesauce for the oil and added 1 tsp of vanilla. Very simple to make, and easy to mix with a spoon, so no need for a mixer. They aren't super sweet, but taste kind of old-fashioned, which I like. I'll make again! Thanks Heather! ;)
