We often host family brunch when family comes from out of town and our own weekend brunches. While I love muffins, if you are on the WW aka Weight Watchers plans, you will know those are not at all points, friend at all, or waistline-friendly. I love to have trim options to satisfy that sweet tooth or chocolate cravings that won’t wholly run me off track.

What Is Weight Watchers?
When starting a new weight loss program or diet change, consult a doctor or physician about personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly budget, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, Blue Plan, Green Plan, Purple Plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022, similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans. ( You can see the Weight Watchers Zero Point Foods 2024 -> here)
No matter the WW plan, it works to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit my lifetime goal weight several times but stopped following the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on.

Easy 3 Ingredient Chocolate Weight Watchers Muffins Recipe Ingredients:
Chocolate Cake Mix– You can use a sugar-free cake mix to lower the calories in this recipe. Other flavors can be used for cake mixes.

How To make Muffins From Cake Mix
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, whisk together your yogurt and water.
Mix in the dry cake mix, you will not use any other ingredients on the cake mix box.
Take a paper towel and get it wet with vegetable oil.
Rub down the Muffin Pan with the greased paper towel so your muffins will easily pop out of the pan.
I always use a cookie scoop to fill the baking cups half full, which grow fairly large.
Bake for about 15-22 minutes, depending on your oven. I use a toothpick to check the doneness of the muffin.
Serve and enjoy!!
Chocolate 3 Ingredient Cake Mix Muffins Weight Watchers Points
Be sure to recalculate your cake mix and how many muffins you could get from the batter in your recipe builder on the WW site. (Not a member yet? You can join here and get a free month; sometimes, they change the promotions, so be sure to look).
I made 40 mini muffins, which works out to 1 Weight Watcher per muffin. I think it would make 13-14 regular muffins. Now, be sure to replug your brand of ingredients and servings as different brands have different WW Smartpoints values, and if you make a different number of muffins, it will change the point value.
How To Store Weight Watchers Chocolate Muffins
Store in an air-tight bag on the counter for up to five days. You can freeze these in an air-tight container for up to 90 days.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

How many points are the muffins?
My batch and ingredients worked out to two smartpoints per muffin.
Do you think you could add fruit?
How many calories in one?
How many calories please?
1700 for the cake mix
30 for the greek yogurt
2000/14 muffins is 143 per muffin
Hope this helps!
What size yogurt- individual size or large 32 oz size?
Individual size.
These are mini so you used the small cookie scooper?
Yes, I did! You can scoop them with a spatula as well but I have a cleaner pan if I use the scoop. n
How should these muffins be stored to keep freshness
I store mine in a Rubbermaid container or in a Ziploc bag. Let me know if you like the muffins!
I used a sugar free Chocolate cake mix, 1 cup of Oikos triple zero yogurt, one scoop chocolate protein drink mix and 1 C water. Made 60 minis for less than a point each. Some people have added additional sweetener like Stevia or Monk Fruit sweetener for a bit more sweetness. They are delish, either way.
Would a sugar free cake mix affect the points?
Yes it would lower the points. I have never bought one to know for sure how much it would lower them.
The sugar free cake mix will give you 16 muffins at 2 SP each. Those are large full size muffins and they taste amazing! I added 2 eggs to mine and they turn out looking better than any bakery ones!!
Could you tell me if the eggs were in addition to the recipe or a substitution for something else in the recipe? Thank you
The blog says do not add any ingredients that are on the box cake mix. 3 ingredients only…box cake mix..yogurt and water is all you need.
did you decrease the water? since adding 2 eggs…
No eggs!
how many carbs please???
The recipe says 7 carbs (0.2 g fiber) I am new to Weight Watchers Diabetic Points Plan (28 points per day…we count fruit). I am uneasy about using cake mix and definitely can not use sugar (I am a type 2 diabetic). Have any other diabetics tried this recipe? If so, did your blood glucose spike?
can I cook these in the microwave, like for a mug muffin?
I am sure you could, I have never tried it. A batch doesn’t last long here because of the kid and their friends.
I made a regular size muffin not mini. How many points is that? Don’t have a mini muffin pan
You would need to replug into the recipe builder with the number of muffins you baked to get the right point value.
When I plugged in these ingredients and made 12 full size muffins they are actually 6 points each. 😞
How do you figure points
Can you use plain Greek yogurt instead of the vanilla Greek yogurt.?
You can it will lower the points value too.
I made these today after making my husband’s high calorie banana muffins, I truly love them. They came out delicious, thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and guilt free reciepe.
Are they two points regardless of the color plan you are on?
Yes as of now they are.
I made these with Pamelas gluten free cake mix, 1 cup of vegan soy yogurt, and 1 cup of water. They were outstanding! My husband said they were the best cupcakes I’ve ever made! Just wanted to let everyone know you can make these gluten free and dairy free 🙂 thank you for the great idea!
I used the exact recipe with some changes.
I added a couple table spoons of ground flax seed
1/3 of a cup of espresso chips and 1/3 of a cup of sugar free dark chocolate chips.
I made it in a Bundt pan.
Sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar prior to serving.
I put it in the recipe builder in the WW app and it came out to 5 pts for 1/10th of the cake. Super good!
I have not tried it yet. I was just stalking something chocolaty while doing WW. I’m on purple. Anyone else on purple? I haven’t yet tried to “plug in recipes.” I may have to give it a try to find out points.
I need to make an eggless cake for my 2yr old granddaughters birthday. These recipes look really good. Can you make a cake out of this recipe instead of muffins?
You probably can! Did you try it?
look up Waky cake….its simple and no eggs. these muffins are very good
I added SF syrup and Lily’s chocochips
I made these today with plain fat free Greek yogurt and added some chocolate chips to the batter. They are delicious!
These were a huge hit with my family! Thank you!
This is really good. I put the batter in a cake pop cooker. They were so good!!
How much yogurt and water do you use for this recipe?
I made these muffins today. I ate one. They are really good. Will be making these again.
HS anyone tried us g pureed low fat cottage cheese in place of greek yogurt?
I made these just as she said to but I added 3 small packets of stevia. They turned out so good nice and moist.
So good and easy! They were super moist too! I used Aldi’s chocolate cake mix. Thank you so much for the recipe!
I only had fat free vanilla Greek yogurt so I used that and I dusted the baked muffins with Swerve confectioners sweetener. They are delicious!
Can you freeze for later?
I was pleasantly surprised at how these turned out. I used Pillsbury Zero Sugar chocolate cake mix. I followed the recipe except I added 2 eggs, vanilla and some sugar free chocolate syrup. I mixed all the ingredients together before I added them to the dry cake mix. I mixed the batter by hand until it was thoroughly incorporated and then I used my electric mixer on medium for 2 minutes. I feel that this step helped with the heaviness others have mentioned. I baked them for 17 minutes. I got 18 regular sized muffins valued at 3 WW pts. Next time I’ll add some pecan chips or Lily’s chocolate chips. Thank you Jenny for a very easy recipe.
Delicious muffins and so easy to make thank you
