Apple Oatmeal 3 Point Weight Watchers Muffins
"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."

Could I substitute some over ripe bananas for the apples in this recipe? I don’t care about the points, I just want to get rid of some bananas and I love this recipe already :) -
Hi I am doing the weight watchers diet and I made the muffins from your recipe, they are delicious. However when I added all the ingredients to create a recipe on the weight watchers program, using your recipe, it came out to 5 points for each of the 12 muffins....and I didn't even add the milk. I substituted water instead. If I added the milk they may have been more points.

What are the points for the recipes? I love muffins and hope to find one that will work with lower points.

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,,, -
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.

These are very tasty and super easy to make! They will be great for breakfast with a cup of tea. Thanks for sharing! -
I made these muffins this morning. I substituted 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. I love how they can be made in one bowl and simply mixed up with a spoon. Thank you for sharing.

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! ;)
