Over the weekends Jessi, a Skinny Mom’s Kitchen reader, posted on the Facebook wall that she created an Apple Cinnamon Muffin using the pumpkin muffin recipe I posted a few weeks ago. I have to say when I get messages like this it just makes my day. I love creating healthy recipes and love even more when it inspires you to create your own versions.
A little bit more about Jessi…
Jessi is a RN and has worked in the nursing field for over a year. She expressed that she has been inspired by the information found on Skinny Mom’s Kitchen and hopes to lose 40 to 50 pounds by next October when she will be in a wedding. I know she can do it and look forward to watching her work towards her goals.

These muffins look very yummy, and worth the 3 points on Weight Watchers Points Plus Plan. A good idea having some in the freezer. I’m always looking for quick grab and go snacks. As Always, Thanks for sharing.
These are absolutely delicious! My roommate and I are sitting down eating a slightly modified vegan version – they’re way too good. This recipe is a new favorite!
My 6 year old daughter and I made these last week and they went fast! We shredded the apple instead of cubing. She loved helping Mommy. These are great for both of us me on WW and her, hard to feed in the morning. They will be great on those early AM’s before school! Thank you!!!
