Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist Cherry Chip cake mix
  • 1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Add the dry cake mix, yogurt and water to a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix on medium until well blended.
  4. Spray a regular sized muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Spoon batter into muffin tin filling each cup about 1/2 to 2/3 full.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

The cake mix box says that the mix should make 24 cupcakes.  This was not the case for me.  It only made 15 cupcakes for me and I didn't overfill the cups.  I think when you are using this baking technique there isn't as much batter as when you make the cake mix traditionally.

You could also make mini muffins, but you will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.

I calculated that these muffins are 5 points each if you make 15 muffins for the green, blue and purple myWW plans.

On the current Weight Watchers Program (2023), it is 6 points per cupcake if you make 15 cupcakes. This is without any frosting. This compares to 10 points if you prepare the cake mix with oil.
