These Healthy Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins are grain-free and combine delicious dark chocolate, fresh pumpkin puree, and a few simple ingredients to make the perfect fall dessert.
Since I am on the Weight Watchers diet, I’ve had to find recipes that can satisfy my sweet tooth but also help budget my points so I don’t go overboard.
That is why I love this recipe! Each muffin is only 6 Weight Watchers points (I actually made this recipe in the app called “chocolate pumpkin muffins”).
Yes, I know 6 points might seem like a lot but if you plan to make these, just eat zero point foods the rest of the day and use your points on these. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Besides a lot of other desserts are much higher in point value and these will satisfy and sweet craving!
