Happy September… I have all the feels today because September is hands down my favorite month.. I’d be beyond happy if I could have 12 of them a year 🙂 Fall is everything to me and there is nothing I don’t love about it.. gimmie all the warm sweaters, hot cocoa, crisp cool morning walks with that smell that is indescribable and all the pumpkin everything!! As a bonus, it is also my birthday month and anniversary month (18 years this year!) I was eager to bake up my first pumpkin recipe of the season and these pumpkin spice apple oatmeal muffins are so good, perfect for a quick grab and go breakfast or an afternoon snack with a warm beverage. Makes 12 muffins and just 2 smart points each on WW freestyle. Go get your pumpkin baking on folks 🙂

Hi, regular size muffin tins or mini?
Regular
Making these this weekend for sure!! Thanks, I’ve been waiting for a low point pumpkin muffin that didn’t include box mixes!!
So delicious! Made them thus morning! Great recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them Lilia 🙂
Can I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of 1% milk?
Yes, absolutely 🙂
Just made these! They are yummy. I will freeze them for grab and go breakfasts along with your banana oatmeal jam muffins! I think next time I would add more of the pumpkin pie spice:)
So glad you enjoyed them and good idea with the extra spice we all have different levels of how we like them 🙂
Would it be okay to use almond milk instead of regular milk?
Yes absolutely
Made them yesterday. Excellent for a breakfast change-up!
So glad you enjoyed them 🙂
These are amazing, A perfect autumn/winter breakfast. My daughter loves oatmeal, but is not a morning person, she is going to take two to work with her for a mid-morning snack. We are going to try modifications too, Apple/carrot and pumpkin/maple/cranberry come to mind off the top of my head. The maple being maple extract which has 0 points. Thank you so much, your recipes make the plan even easier to follow.
Hi Cinda, so glad you both enjoyed them, all those combinations sound delicious, thank you for sharing 🙂
Are these quick coming oats or old fashioned?
I usually use quick oats
What kind of oats should I use? Thank you
Quick oats are fine or baking oats
What kind of oats, Quick or Old-Fashioned?
Any will work, I used quick oats
I have a 29oz and 15 oz can of pumpkin. It says use 1/2 can. Which size?
Hi Amy, no it says 1/2 CUP canned pumpkin 🙂
Just made these and they are a hit! Thanks for the recepie!
You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
How long would you bake if you do mini muffins?
I would check them at about 14 minutes
What kind of apple is everyone using?
Very good! Great suggestion to freeze and take for breakfast !
Glad you enjoyed them Kim 🙂
I’m just curious how they come out as two points. No matter what’s combo of milk or almond milk, any brand of oats and brown sugar I use I get 3 points for one and 5 points for two. I always prefer to use the exact nutrition from the packages if I can so it’s the most accurate.
Yes I agree to go with what you use, my breakdown on my WW app recipe builder is as follows Brown sugar 4, milk 3, and oats 22.. that is the only ingredients with points
Mine ends up working out to 3 points each and still 5 points for 2 – my brown sugar is 6, oats are 25 and almond milk is 1 – just made them and can’t wait to have them for my night snacks – starting tonight. Great recipe – easy to make. I even froze the giant can of pumpkin so I can make this 6 more times out of one can
So glad you enjoyed them Mary-Anne 🙂
I used skim milk and Swerve Brown sugar and added 1/3 cup chopped walnuts. This came out to 1 point each on Purple. Winner! Thanks for your wonderful recipes. So glad I found you.
Hi Susan, that is great, thanks so much for sharing, glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Making these for meal prep for next week.
I love all your muffin recipes.
So glad you are enjoying the muffins 🙂
Hi , can I use muffin cups for this recipe?
HI Stacie, I typically avoid muffin liners if that is what you are referring to, with the ingredients used they might stick
