Different ways to change up this recipe:
- I buy Pillsbury cake mix in the U.S. but you can use any cake mix. I say just under 1T as that keeps it a 1 point.
- The icing is optional, but since these muffins are only 1 point with it, I suggest keeping it. It keeps these muffins fun!
Tips and Tricks for Making Funfetti Muffins:
- Store any leftover mini Funfetti muffins in the fridge for up to seven days. You could also freeze them if you want to make a few large batches. They keep well for up to 3 months.
- Use any fruit that you like – it doesn’t have to be blueberries. Just make sure to chop the fruit into really small pieces so the muffins bake evenly.
- I use ½ tablespoon Betty Crocker vanilla icing. Please note I realize in the picture I used a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon by mistake, but I didn’t use a full tablespoon just ½!

I don’t like blueberries. Can I use raspberries in place of them ?
I have never tried raspberries in them, they might be a little big for the mini muffins but you can always try , I use the frozen wild blueberries as they are tiny
These are so yummy! My husband and I love them! This weekend we mixed up some cinnamon and stevia and swirled it into the muffins! Definitely point friendly but feels like your’re having a treat! Thanks for all your yummy breakfast ideas!
That sounds delicious!! So glad you both enjoyed them 🙂
Thanks for your recipes-I use them often! Just a little confused about these mini pancake muffins-the serving size says serves 10 so does that mean that each muffin is 6/5 points or are all 10 6/5 points? I use points plus so am always grateful when they’re posted.
Woops that was an error thanks, just updated it, serves 1
So that whole recipe is only 6/5 points??
Yes, 4 for the kodiak, 1 for the cake mix and 1 for the icing
So can you have 6 mini cupcakes for 5points?
Actually, the recipes makes about 10-11 mini pancake muffins for 6SP that includes the little icing
Have you tried/or recommend any other pancake mix? I have a dairy allergy, and like to stay away from gluten… just curious if this will work for any other pancake mix?
I use aunt jamima as well sometimes to switch it up, I imagine a GF mix would work just fine 🙂
I am starting to count calories do you know how many are in each muffin? Is there a way to convert WW points to calories? Love your blog and Instagram!
Hi Kass, thanks, glad you like what you see… There really is not a way to convert points to calories as it is based on not just that but your sugar, sat fat and protein.. I can tell you that in 1/2 cup of the kodiak there is 190 calories, if you go to calorieking.com you can probably find the calories for the cake mix
I make these 3-4 times a week for breakfast! Love them! Thank you! ? 10 stars!!
I love them too! 🙂 So glad you enjoy them!
I’m also confused by the size. My normal cupcake tins are 12 holes. My minis are a lot more. So are you using cupcake tins for these?
No these are 12 hole mini tins, they come in all different quantities not just 24 🙂
How do you figure out the smart points for 1 tbsp of Pillsbury funfetti mix? I know you said it’s one but I was just wondering how you figure it out. Thank you
It was all based of weight and info from box, I just did the math
OK. Thank you
I don’t understand how 1/2 tbsp icing can cover all those muffins! The picture sure looks more like 1/2 tbsp icing on each muffin. Would you please verify how you do it? Thank you!
Hi Brenda, I actually do use my measuring spoon , It is such a small amount of each mini muffin and it melts slightly to look like more, so the picture might make you think it is more, but I promise you I only use 1/2 Tbsp, I’m only cheating myself if I were not 😉
Can I use fresh blueberries? Thank you! So excited to try these!
Yes although I would try to make sure they are small, that;s why I like the frozen wild blueberries cause they are tiny, large fresh blueberries will just make for messy mini muffins 🙁 Hope you enjoy them
Do you ever freeze these? I added a few mashed raspberries I had and they really added a nice sweetness. I didn’t use the icing. So good!
I have never froze them no, I think they will freeze ok, glad you enjoyed them 🙂
