2 Light Bite Pumpkin Pie Blondies | Weight Watchers - #pumpkin #blondies - foodmeanderings.com

I am crazy about pumpkin pie and love pumpkin muffins. 2 Bite Brownies are pretty awesome too! But they are all pretty high in fat, calories and weight watchers points.  So....I have created these light 2 WW point (blue plan) healthy mini pumpkin pie blondies. It's sort of a cross between pumpkin pie, a healthy weight watchers pumpkin muffin and 2 bite brownies.

Every year we have pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas. But one year when I was trying to be really good,  I decided that I wanted to make a lighter dessert for Thanksgiving. That was a mistake.

  • 📋 2 Light Bite Pumpkin Pie Blondie Recipe
  • 📋More WW Desserts without artificial sweeteners

Over the years I've gotten pretty good at lightening up recipes and creating healthy weight watchers friendly desserts, but unfortunately, not all of my attempts have ended in success. And that Thanksgiving dessert was a very good example.

Some WW points are worth it! So, at this point you may be thinking that 2 Weight Watchers (WW) points for a mini pumpkin muffin still seems a little high. Okay, I'll give you that BUT...these are really GOOD! And not all low point pumpkin desserts are. As I'm sure you already know-  this is not my first Weight Watchers rodeo. And that being said,  I've eaten A LOT of WW food, desserts, muffins etc.. over the years, including WW pumpkin muffins.

And I can attest that some were NOT good and some were even downright BAD! So, I know a good Weight Watchers pumpkin muffin when I taste one and this is one of them! Sometimes you have to sacrifice a point or two in the name of decent food. And you don't have to sacrifice the richness or butter or sugar in this recipe. It's all about balance, after all. Plus, these don't have artificial sweeteners.

And they were a work in progress for a while. I took these to work a few years ago and although they got some good feedback, I knew they still needed work. Now I'm willing to share these Weight Watchers Mini Pumpkin Muffins with you because they have been perfected~

Speaking of sacrificing in the name of decent food...

The year I made that terrible Thanksgiving dessert was the year I decided that some things were just worth the points! My pumpkin mush dessert was so bad that from that moment forward,  I'd vowed that I'd just bite the bullet, swallow the points and eat my fabulous Prize Pumpkin Pie at every holiday dinner.

🥘 Ingredients

I like to make stuff with pumpkin pie filling (like my pumpkin pie, above)  although I use pumpkin puree as my pumpkin pie filling (I don't want all the added sugar etc) then I add in the other ingredients, so I can control them. But I often end up with leftover pumpkin puree....

  • all-purpose flour
  • nutmeg
  • baking powder
  • cinnamon
  • ginger
  • instant coffee granules
  • butter
  • unsweetened apple sauce
  • brown sugar
  • pumpkin puree (pumpkin pie filling)
  • bananas
  • egg whites
  • maple syrup (* I use low sugar/no sugar added)
  • vanilla extract

🍽 Equipment

You'll need a mini muffin tin (affiliate link) and a hand mixer (affiliate link) for this recipe! 

👪 Serving Size

This recipe makes 36 mini weight watchers pumpkin muffins. You can half, double or triple the recipe by simply clicking on the blue servings number in the recipe card, selecting the number of servings you'd like and the recipe amounts will adjust accordingly.

🌡️Storage

  • These healthy pumpkin blondies can be stored, in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.  
  • This recipe freezes well for up to 3 months, in a sealed container (or Ziplock freezer bag).

And that's another reason why I created these healthy 2 bite Healthy Pumpkin Pie Blondies!! I needed a light, healthy pumpkin dessert that I could eat all year, that wouldn't break the weight watchers points bank. 

But in retrospect, I guess my light Thanksgiving dessert, all those years ago, was a pretty lame and lazy attempt at a weight watchers friendly recipe. But it was early days in terms of my recipe development experience so I didn't really have a clue what I was doing. I basically took canned pumpkin, non-fat Cool Whip, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs, attempted to force it all into a glass and called it parfait. And although it was fairly low points, it was NOT good! My poor family...

But this light pumpkin dessert is good,so enjoy it and remember.... some points are just worth it!

Oh and here's another light pumpkin dessert that's also amazing!
