I decided to add to my growing list of 2 point greek yogurt muffins, like my popular pumpkin banana yogurt muffins and my strawberry banana yogurt muffins , both equally delicious and these new apple cinnamon greek yogurt muffins are a great addition. Who doesn’t love a 2 point muffin, you can have 2 for a quick grab and go breakfast and not worry about using too many points. I made mine with big chunks of diced honey crisp apple to sweeten them up but you can use any apple and if you want your apple pieces smaller no problem. These tasty muffins are just 2 points each on WW.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hope you enjoy them, I have a few without banana’s and loaves as well 🙂

    • These are the best muffins ever! These and halo top are my go to sweets!

      • Drizzle Reply

        So glad you enjoy them Carrie 🙂 WIsh I could eat Halo but it upsets my tummy 🙁

  2. What I absolutely ADORE about your amazing recipes is that they don’t include nasty sugar substitutes so I’m able to safely eat them while nursing! Thank you sooo much!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

    • Drizzle Reply

      Awesome, yeah I try not to use them. So glad you are enjoying them 🙂

    Looks delicious! Does the 2SP total include the sprinkling of cinnamon & sugar, or will that add points?

      • I tried making these twice and both times they did not bake all the way through. It’s a soggy wet mess both times. Any advice? And how are you getting 2 points for these? I got way more than that from the WW app.

        • Drizzle Reply

          Hi Jennifer, are you using the nutritional numbers in your App because that incl all ingredients even the apples which are 0SP .. the breakdown on my WW app is 13SP flour, 4SP brown sugar, 4SP eggs (green only) and 2SP yogurt (green only) these muffins are denser due to ingredients used however they should not be soggy, it is hard to know what went wrong without being there

    • AliceAJones Reply

      I would like to know what kind of flour AP or self rising.

      • Drizzle Reply

        Hi, I usually use all-purpose unless otherwise stated

  4. Made these today and they seem a little wet inside (I made the gingerbread banana muffins the other day and cooked these for the same amount of time). I realize its because of the apple, but did you find this to be the case for you as well? Maybe I need to cook these longer ?

    • Drizzle Reply

      They will be dense as are all my yogurt based muffins, but should not be wet, you can try cooking a little longer

  5. This muffin recipe looks really delicious and I really like the flavors that have been used. I also like the texture that has been created by mixing diced apples into them. Its also so quick and easy to make. Its great for breakfast or a snack at any time of the day.

  6. My husband and I both love these!
    I wonder how they would be with pineapple instead of apples?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Cathy, so glad you both enjoyed them.. I think pineapple would be yummy, just dice into small pieces 🙂 let me know if you try it

  7. I’m ready to just come live with you. Lol. Thank you for ALL the wonderful recipes!!

  8. You used regular flour in these, not self-rising? My friend shared your IG page with me and I am so happy she did.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi there, hope you enjoy all the recipes, yes just regular flour 🙂 I add in baking powder

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Nina, I am not familiar with baking with almond flour so you’d need to do some trial and error

  9. Have you ever tried silicone muffin cups? Saves using spray . Never stick and can be used over and over. Love your recipes.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Thanks Leslie, yes I do have some, I don’t know why I don’t use them more often, I guess just a personal preference

  10. Thank you. They turned out great! A nice change from all the blueberry and banana muffins I have been making!

  11. I love these! I have just started weight watchers and your recipes are such a great help! Thsnk you so much for sharing!! 😀

    • Drizzle Reply

      You are very welcome Tina, so glad you are enjoying them and good luck on your journey!!

  12. LeeAnn Bee Reply

    Can you use plain non fat yogurt or do you need to use Greek?

    • Drizzle Reply

      You can try regular but greek is a much thicker yogurt so the texture might be altered

  13. Natasha Meoli Reply

    I found this recipe while searching through your blog at 3am when I couldn’t sleep lol. I got up and made them and yes! So glad I did!! They’re delish!!!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Haha that sounds like me, always awake when I don’t want to be 😉 so glad you enjoyed them!

  14. Tammy Corcoran Reply

    I made the apple muffins today, not yet tried them but i used splenda instead of reg sugar will that change the nutrition information

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Tammy, yeah it might although I am not sure what to as I only know the way I made them, hope you enjoy them

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Susan, you could use more ground turkey since it is a zero food, or through extra veggies of your choice in there

  15. Janice Renee Schlickman Reply

    I love, love, love your recipes! One request – is there any way to make these muffins without sugar or brown sugar, maybe using honey, agave, maple syrup, fruit or fruit juice? How would you account for loss of dry and added wet? Hoping…..

    • Drizzle Reply

      Thanks Janice 🙂 so glad you are enjoying them! Yes you can definitely use honey, I’d add in a few extra Tbsp of flour to compensate, and you can even melt a little honey down and drizzle over muffins before you bake them to give them a nice sweet topping 🙂

  16. Steven Bauer Reply

    Made these today, I did not have a large apple, used a medium sized Granny Smith and added two stalks of diced rhubarb. Also, I used a silicone muffin pan. I used raw sugar for the cinnamon topping and divided between the bottom of the muffin pan and the top of the muffins. I like bigger muffins because I will usually each only one instead of two or three of the smaller ones. I got six nice muffins from your recipe and figured each muffin was still only 3 points. and they were delicious! thanks for the recipe!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Steven, I’m so glad you enjoyed them and made them work for you 🙂 3 points for a big muffin is a win in my books!!

    • Drizzle Reply

      All the nutritional info is at the bottom of the recipe, I only made this recipe as it is shown so I am not sure how much using banana would change it but check my other muffin recipes, there are several with banana

  17. Can I make this without the whole apple in it? Would I have to add any additional applesauce? Thanks

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, I’m not sure how they would be, might be a little small and bland, but you can try

    • Drizzle Reply

      Sure, they will freeze well and I don’t see why you can’t double the recipe

  18. I used 1 tbsp. splenda brown sugar to bring it down to 1 SP per muffin. These are amazing !!! taste like homemade apple strudel.

  19. I just made these for breakfast. These were great. Great flavor and very satisfying. I used ff vanilla Greek yogurt and only one tablespoon of brown sugar. I also cooked them 5 minutes longer so they wouldn’t be mushy inside. The only thing I would change is add a pinch of salt. But a great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

    • Drizzle Reply

      So glad you enjoyed them Toni, I usually don’t bake with salt just a personal preference but yes definitely if you are used to it 🙂

  20. Catherine Zacharovich Reply

    These are really good! The only change I would personally make is add more apple. Thanks for the recipe!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Sometimes it comes down to a different brand of something, I can only go off what my App tells me 🙂

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Karen, I am not experienced too much baking with almond flour/meal but I know it bakes different, all I can suggest is to try it

  21. Kathy wagner Reply

    Want to make mini muffins for kids. How many will it make & cooking times?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Kathy, sorry I only made as full size so I am not too sure you’d have to see for yourself, as far as baking times mini muffins on average bake for about 14-16 min

  22. I only have self rising flour. Can I use that in this recipe? Would I just omit the baking powder?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Nicole, sure you can use it.. I’d still add a pinch of BP if it was me 🙂

  23. Hi! I just made these tonight and will make them again. I used regular flour and they fell a bit when I took them out of the oven. Wondering if self-rising flour would have been better?

    • Drizzle Reply

      HI, most of my muffin recipes will sink a little when removed from the oven and it is due to ingredients used, like swapping out oils & butter for yogurt & applesauce etc.. you could try self-rising flour but they will still likely drop a bit ..so glad you enjoyed them 🙂

  24. Joanne Godwin Reply

    These were yummy. When I put the ingredients into the WW recipe counter, they are 3 points on Green, not 2.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Glad you enjoyed the muffins, please know that products can vary, my breakdown in my App for green is eggs 4, brown sugar 4, yogurt 2, flour 13 which gives me 2SP on green

  25. Aline Bouchard Reply

    I tried these tonight, and they were a hit! Thanks for sharing your recepies!

    • Drizzle Reply

      You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed the muffins 🙂

  26. Love these – and making again…adding some chopped pear in bc I’m low in the apple dept. Love your recipes! Thank you!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Jane, Ohhh I love the idea of adding pear, yum! So glad you enjoy the muffins 🙂

  27. Perfect with a little sugar free syrup on the top! Makes for a great breakfast and so nice to mix it up with a new recipe! Thank you!

  28. These muffins are excellent! Even better is they are cooked without anything artificial. I do not like sugar substitutes. In addition, I can’t believe they were only 2 personal points for me WOO HOO! WIN WIN — Thank you

    • Drizzle Reply

      Yay! So glad you enjoyed the muffins Susan 🙂 My stomach can’t handle sugar substitutes so I never use them
