Muffins can be a high calorie item, but these Weight Watcher Cranberry muffins are just 4 smart WW smart points, or 136 calories! That is a big difference from standard muffin recipes. A plain muffin is about 340 calories!
When you want a muffin, but not the high calories, try making these! They are delicious! I love them!
They are EASY and FAST to make; no beater needed! You make it in a few minutes by hand in ONE BOWL!
I like to heap the measurement of the berries, and I add a few more on top before baking.
For the yogurt, sometimes I use 2 Dannon Light+Fit 70-calorie yogurt cups, 5.3 ounces each, any flavor.
Pictured is one time I used just cranberries and another time when I used cranberries and blueberries. Use any berries you want, or mix them up! You can even use peaches, pears, or apples to this batter! Use any fruit you want or have on hand.
I love this muffin batter and the oats in it! Believe me, I’ve tried other low-calorie muffin recipes and was not happy with them!
Remove the muffins from the muffin tins as soon as they come out of the oven so they don’t bake more in the tins.
They do stick somewhat to the paper liners. If you don’t like that, skip the paper liners and just spray your muffin tins with cooking spray before adding the batter.
See some pictures how I make them in the slideshow below.
Enjoy!
