Ingredients

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350F, spray a regular size 12 hole muffin tin.

      I am in Canada and we have a Kraft light peanut butter, in the U.S you could try the Jiff whips maybe?

      • Hi there,
        Is there a way to link this with the actual WW app? Or do I need to put each ingredient in separately?
        Thanks!

        • Drizzle Reply

          Hi, you can just add it in as a quick add.. I don’t know any way of linking sorry

  1. this is a combo of 3 of my favorite things! Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my fave, and this seems like an excellent breakfast take on them.

    Question about the light peanut butter…I know you’re in Canada, so that might make it harder to answer! I use Skippy Natural creamy pb because it somehow has the same smart point amount as reduced fat peanut butter (that I’ve found, anyway), and I prefer the taste. The points value is 6sp for 2Tbsp. Think it’s safe to use my peanut butter, or should I go find light?

    Thanks for sharing all of your yummy recipes with us!

      Hi Colleen, yup you can use it, my Kraft light is also 3SP per 1Tbsp so your good! I hope you love them πŸ™‚

      • Colleen/ww_collnyc Reply

        Thanks Kate! I’ll try to make some this weekend!!

      • Wondering if I can double the recipe to make 2 batches? If so would I double every ingredient?

        • Drizzle Reply

          Hi Jenn, yes if you are doubling the just double all ingredients

    These were a hit! They are better cooled down not straight out of the oven. So filling and such a great combo. I can’t wait to make this again.

  4. 5 stars
    Used PB2 and Spenda Brown Sugar and it dropped the points down to 2 per muffin. Great recipe. Thanks!

  5. 5 stars
    I have made these several times over the past few months. The whole family loves them.

  6. Hi. I made these this morning but when i added the points together in my ingredients it ended up being 5 points each. I dont know what i did wrong!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, product brands vary so much, I base my info of the ingredients and brands I use, so that is what it is coming down to most likely. The PB could make a difference depending on what brand you used..

  7. 5 stars
    Making these for the second time today – I’m hooked! Kids also enjoyed. Thanks for all your great recipes!

  8. Can’t find light peanut butter. If i use reg should i increase the pts to 4 pts

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Kim, the light PB is by Kraft and a Canadian product, in U.S they have the Jiff whips that I think is the same, the light is 3SP per 1Tbsp and not a huge difference in points to reg PB

  10. Hi – Do you think I can use 5 tbsp egg whites vs. 1 egg and 2 tbsp egg whites? Trying to lower points to offset the pb πŸ™‚

    HI,
    I was wondering if you can do this without the banana? I am not a big fan of it. Do you really taste the banana in the mufiins or no?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi, you will taste the banana yes, it is hard for me to say if you can leave them out because I make them as recipe lists.. you can use apple sauce in replace for the banana but it will change the overall taste and texture

  12. I made these with PB fit and they were very dry. Maybe PB has a better consistency. Also, can you cook the oats in water first?

    • Drizzle Reply

      HI .. I have never tried cooking the oats in water first so not too sure on that one.. I have also never used PB fit but my guess is yes regular PB has better consistency.

  13. Thank you for this recipe. They are delicious. Instead of brown sugar, I used 1/4 cup applesauce and 4 splenda packets. I also sprayed the muffin pan as you suggest (no liners) and they slid out beautifully. No sticking.

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Cynthia, happy to hear you enjoyed them, yeah I hate liners they always stick based on the ingredients I use

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi there are no changes, the egg in them does not affect the overall points so on freestyle they are the same, just remember freestyle is still smart points

  14. I used PB2 instead of the low fat peanut butter and Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips and plugged the rest of this into the WW recipe builder and it came out to 2 SP! Thank you so much for your awesome recipes, I’m using them at least 2-3 times a week.

    Hi- I don’t have yogurt…could I sub sour cream or applesauce?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Yeah that should work ok, I’d probably try the sour cream to keep texture same

  16. Have been wandering through your muffin recipes wondering what to try first! The ideas of peanut butter in a muffin, to me, was not very appealing…even though I love pb…but the pics of these were so very enticing!! So away I went and whipped them up!! And these little morsels were so good! There are times when you are being very careful of each bite you take that you really wanted something very substantial to sink your teeth into! Bingo..these muffins are just that and really tasty as well. Will be in a hurry to try other muffins ASAP! Thank you!

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Cheryl, best review ever πŸ˜‰ I’m so glad you enjoyed them and hope you enjoy the other muffin recipes

  17. Hi there, we absolutely love these muffins. Even my 9 year loves them. My daughter wanted to bring these muffins in her lunch( her school is a nut free facility) do you think i can omit the peanut butter? Would i need to add something else? Thanks for the awsome recipies by the way?

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Kim, so glad you all enjoy the muffins πŸ™‚ what about maybe adding in a little honey or maple syrup even, just something that will replace the PB and hold them together the same, you don’t need much, 1-2 Tbsp should be good .. you can try omitting it altogether, they may still turn out ok .. good luck, let me know how it goes

  18. Just wondering if I use cake flour can I omit the baking powder and soda?

    • Drizzle Reply

      I think cake flour just has baking powder & salt correct? So I’d still add a little soda

    • Drizzle Reply

      Hi Cindy, yes they can be mini muffins, on average mini muffins take 14-16 minutes
