I love creating delicious muffins to have on hand for either breakfast for the week or an afternoon snack. I also love pineapple and coconut together so these muffins were bound to happen! I can’t even begin to tell you how incredibly scrumptious these muffins are and only 3 smart points each.

The directions call for flour but it’s not listed in the ingredients?
Sorry typo, should of said oats, fixed now thank you π
I just made these and they are delicious. They sounded so good when you first posted
the recipe so I hurried up and tried them. I’ll be making them again for sure. Thanks
for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed them Terri π
Wow Kate, I just made these and being the pineapple/coconut fiend that I am, they are amazing!! LOVE
π Glad you enjoyed them Missy
I made these and the cheesy ranch potatoes over the weekend. Both recipes are DELICIOUS!
Awesome! So happy you enjoyed both Gia π
Can you use unsweetened almond milk instead of skim milk?
Yes sure π
what is the best way to store these? do you think they’d require refrigeration? thanks.
Hi, yes I would store in the fridge, and if your not eating within about 3 days then freeze them.
These were yummy, thank you for the recipe!! I used 5 T. of powdered stevia instead off the brown sugar & that was just right for my hubby who likes everything sweet!!! ?
Glad to hear you both enjoyed them Marcy, and good to know the stevia worked for you π
I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE MUFFINS!!! I switched the pineapple for apples since I love apples better but they are so delicious and filling! Im a huge oatmeal person so to find a healthier alternative recipe that doesnt even use flour is amazing!! Thank you!
Hi Kayla, you are very welcome, the apple addition sounds delicious!
Could I use the old fashion oats and not the quick?
I am sure that would be fine π
I’m not a fan of coconut so I’m going to try these with sliced almonds (also 5sp).
That sounds yummy, hope you enjoy them π
OMG!!! These are absolutely amazing! I added a scoop of vanilla trutein protein powder just to bump it up for myself, and they were great for a mid morning snack. Not overly sweet which was really nice! I also made the blueberry lemon greek yogurt muffins and they are a hit as well!!
Hi Tammy, yay! so glad to hear you enjoyed both muffins π
Can I use canned pineapple does it have to be fresh?
I think canned will be ok as long as you drain all the juices
Amazing!
I used peach preserves instead of sweetner.
I used peach preserves instead of sweetne or brown sugar.
Oh that sounds yummy, thanks for the tip π
I only have unsweetened coconut. Would you recommend adding more sugar?
HI Tanya, no unsweetened will be fine
Hi, if I dont have apple sauce what else could I replace it with?thank you
Hi, mashed banana will work, canned pumpkin and sometimes yogurt
Hi! Do you think I could use three whole eggs?
Hi 2 egg whites would be equal to 1 egg so I would just use 1 but yes it should be fine π
These look delicious and I cant’ wait to m curious as to why the pineapple was excluded from the nutritional information?
I use to not include it because on weight watchers fruit is a zero point food and it got confusing with the numbers but now I include all ingredients and just let people know that the nutri numbers shown incl all ingredients so if they enter them in the App they may get a higher number, it still confuses people though lol .. hope that makes sense
I made these and ABSOLUTELY loved them!
Hi Elyse, so glad you loved them π
I am so going to make them. we are doing low calorie so I am trying to figure out the nutrition facts. Would you consider these low cal.
Hi Candi, the nutritional info is listed in the recipe post at the bottom, compared to store bought muffins I’d definitely consider these low calorie π Good luck on your journey!

can you use large oats instead of the quick oats you have listed
Sure π
These are in the oven right now! I had left over crushed pineapple and used whole oats and two eggs. Canβt wait to try one. ?
Yum, hope you enjoyed them π
This looks so good! I’ve never seen these flavors together in muffins before!
Pineapple coconut is so good together π
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
They will keep a few days (better in the fridge, then I just pop them in toaster oven) and they freeze well
