Weight Watchers 1 Point Oatmeal Muffins
These simple oatmeal muffins are made from oats, banana, eggs, and cinnamon. There is no complicated mixing method: the ingredients are blended into a smooth batter and baked in a muffin pan. Fresh fruit can be added, but it will affect moisture, baking time, and any nutrition or points calculation.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
- 2 bananas
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- Optional fresh fruit
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat nine muffin cups with cooking spray or use liners suitable for a moist oat batter.
- Add the oatmeal, bananas, cinnamon, and eggs to a blender.
- Blend until the oats are broken down and the mixture is evenly combined. Stop and scrape the sides if necessary.
- If using fruit, fold it into the blended batter rather than processing it completely.
- Divide the batter evenly among nine muffin cups.
- Bake for 18–30 minutes. The wide time range reflects differences in ovens, pans, fruit additions, and muffin size. Begin checking at 18 minutes and continue until the centers are set.
- Allow the muffins to rest in the pan for several minutes before removing them.
How to Get an Even Batch
Use bananas of similar size and portion the batter evenly. If you add berries or chopped fruit, avoid adding excessive liquid and distribute the pieces throughout the batter. Silicone pans may require a different baking time than metal pans.
Because this recipe contains no traditional flour, the texture will be soft and more custard-like than a bakery muffin. Letting the muffins cool helps them firm up. If they stick, loosen the edges gently rather than removing them while piping hot.
Storage
Once cool, refrigerate the muffins in a covered container. Reheat briefly or serve chilled. For longer storage, freeze individual muffins and thaw them in the refrigerator. Added fruit may shorten their refrigerated life because it contributes extra moisture.
WW Points Note
The recipe makes nine muffins. Points depend on the current WW program, the exact serving count, banana size, oatmeal used, and any optional fruit. Recalculate the full recipe with your current WW tools instead of assuming that an older one-point statement still applies.
