I have been trying out the Weight Watchers program for a while now and this is a recipe I learned about in a meeting, although there are several different variations I have tried.
You take a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree mix it with a hand mixer (the mixture will be too stiff to do it well by hand). Do not add anything else, no eggs, oil, water, etc. Spoon the mixture into a cupcake pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. One box will make 12 cupcakes and they are 4 WW points each. This could not be easier. It can be done with a white cake mix, carrot cake mix, and chocolate cake mix. (The chocolate cake mix is actually a Hungry Girl recipe). I have tried all except the carrot cake and I have liked all that I have tried.
The only thing I did differently is that I used my own pureed pumpkin rather than the canned and I doubled the recipe. I think cupcakes are a fun baking activity to get the little ones involved in! They turned out great as usual!
Up next... Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin Waffles
