It was a muffin baking kinda day.. I was after something sweet and also craving an apple baked treat..as much as I love chocolate my favorite dessert usually ends up being something with apple in it 🙂 These brown sugar apple cinnamon muffins are delicious and just 2 smart points each on WW freestyle. I love when I can bake up a tasty muffin for just 2 points, even if I want two I know I can easily work them into my day without going off track, win win 🙂

What can you use if you don't like almond milk?
Drizzle
You can use any milk it just might later the points, but overall per muffin it shouldn't
Joanne
When entered the nutrition info to my tracker for individual muffins it said these were four points, with the recipe builder it's two. Do you know why it would be different?
Drizzle
If you are using my nutritional numbers then as stated right after I list them it includes all ingredients (apples & eggs which are zero foods) so those numbers will give you a higher read in your calculator, when you build a recipe in the app it gives you the freestyle value taking into consideration those zero point foods
Joanne
That makes perfect sense, Thank You! I just wanted to make sure I counted them correctly. I really like the recipe!
Sandra simmonds
These are fantastic. Just hit the spot. Thankyou so much for your recipe
Drizzle
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Louise Couture
Thanks so much… Next time, I will follow in all details, 'cause I used paper cups...with the result that half of each muffin stays in there. But there are good !!
Drizzle
Hi Louise, yeah I never use paper liners.. due to ingredients used it will stick 🙁
Darcy
Is one muffin considered a serving....so 2 freestyle points would be for 1 muffin?
Drizzle
Yes that is correct
Anu Riley
Hi what kind of apple should be used for this recipe? I only have Gala in my house; that is the only kind we like to eat. Thanks!
Drizzle
Hi, you can use any apple you prefer 🙂
Kay Mumby
How long can I store these for?
Drizzle
They will be good a few days in the fridge then I'd freeze them, due to ingredients used they don't have a long "shelf life" so to speak 😉
Michelle Boxum
Can I use regular homoginize milk? I'm sure the point value will go up?
I'm excited to try this tomorrow ❤️
Drizzle
yes you can use it but as you know points a bit higher

Looks delicious, but I don’t have muffin pan. Can this be made in loaf pan instead?
If so, What would cooking time be?
Drizzle
Hi, I have only made as muffins, that said it may still work as a loaf or maybe squares in a 8 or 9inch square dish.. squares would be same baking time, loaf usually is 45-50 minutes
Angela Betts
Another delish recipe ?
Drizzle
Yay, glad you enjoyed them 🙂

These are so yummy! I used a brown sugar substitute ( Sukrin Gold) in place of the brown sugar...and it came just 1 point per muffin, and they were still delicious! I used parchment paper baking cups, and mine peeled right off...no muffin stuck to them. I peeled them as soon as they came out of the oven, and sat them back in the hot muffin tins to cool completely. These are so good with a cup of coffee! 🙂

Hi Dana, thanks for sharing, I am so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
