These Weight Watchers Lemon Muffins recipes have been my family’s favorite for years! I have been on WW since 2010, Weight Watchers.  Now I love that the program is food that my whole family will eat and is everyday food that I choose.

I am sure you know if you have been doing Weight Watchers that there are times you make something that your family doesn’t like but that you do.  Luckily these are not that way, and the kids even love these muffins when we make them.   I found this originally in a Weight Watcher support Facebook group.

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting any new weight loss program or diet changes be sure to consult with a doctor or physician about any 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 allowance, 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 is similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight a couple of times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on. You do stay on as a lifetime member, just working towards goal. Head on over ->here to get a month for free.

Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins are only 2 Smart Points (1 Points Plus Value) and are made with only three ingredients!! Quick and easy low point treat!

 Weight Watchers Lemon Muffins Recipe Ingredients:

  • Water
  • Lemon Greek Yogurt– This has gotten hard to find, but you can use a no-fat greek yogurt or low-calorie greek yogurt. The no fat will have points on the current plan.
  • Lemon cake mix– You can do a different flavor if you can find a lemon greek yogurt; if not, lemon flavoring maybe make up for not having a lemon cake mix.

 

 

How To Make Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Take a paper towel and wet it with vegetable oil

Rub the Muffin Pan with the paper towel to grease the pan so that your muffins will pop on out

Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins Batter In a Bowl

In a bowl, mix all three ingredients until well mixed; it’s a weird light, fluffy dough and smells amazing.

Using a cookie scoop, spoon the dough into the muffin pan until all 24 are full; these do rise a bit, so don’t fill up all the way

Mini muffin silicone pan filled with lemon muffins batter

Set in the oven and bake for about 15-22 minutes depending on how hot your oven cooks

Remove from oven when you can remove a clean toothpick and allow to cool for 10 minutes

Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins popping out of silicone muffin pans

I remove my muffins by popping up from the bottom; they typically pop out clean!

Place the muffins on a baking rack to help cool off before you bag them up! These do tend to hold the heat, so be sure to cool them properly! I have about ten different wire racks; when I go on a baking frenzy, it’s really handy to have a lot of them! I use mine at least once a week!

Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins piled on a cutting board

Regrease your pan and bake the rest of the batter. I get from 32-40 muffins depending on how full the cups of the muffin pan are before baking

Pop them out and enjoy!

Lemon Weight Watchers Muffins WW Breakdown:

Now with any Weight Watcher recipe, be sure to replug your ingredients on the recipe for proper point calculation and tracking. I have included screenshots from the recipe builder on WW when I had 37 muffins in a batch. Mine worked out to two weight watchers points per mini muffin.

    I would love to try these – I count calories, not WW points. I am sure this must be a typo in the recipe, because surely one little muffin can’t have 2,232 calories! Can you please advise as to the correct calorie count? Thanks so much 🙂

    • Holli says

      March 3, 2015 at 11:14 AM

      Because she’s using the WW’s calculator, that is the total for the entire batch. You would just need to divide by how many muffins it makes for you (same for fat, protein, etc.). In her case, with 32 minis, it would be around 69-70 calories each. Hope that helps. 🙂

          July 11, 2019 at 1:51 PM

          I’d say yes they are as you probably count carbs more than sugar and they would be low in carbs to be 2 WW points.

    I made these tonight, they are wonderful! So easy to make have an actual muffin consistency. I calculated my WW points and they came out to 2 points each but I believe thats because I had larger muffins.

    These were amazing. As a new member I’m so glad to find recipes like this! one note: i am going to add some real lemon and a tsp of lemon zest next time to give them a bit more zing. Poppy seeds would also be nice.

    I calculated the smartpoints at 2 for 32 muffins. Mine made closer to 44 and it was still 2 pts so I’m going to full them slightly fuller next time to get more out of my 2 pts!

    I made this recipe, and they are divine! According to my WW recipe builder, the cake mix (whole box) is 7 smart points and the fat free lemon yogurt I used is 2 sp. So, at a total of 9 points for the batch, that’s a counting value of 1 point each. I made 21 regular-sized muffins, and my hubby loves them too!

      I am sure you could but I would watch the cook time. It would also drastically change the points as well I believe.

    I’m trying to figure out the points for this. Why would you plug it in as 10 servings?

    I have figured this using smart points & come up with 7.2 points. 7 points for cake mix & .2 for yogurt. Not sure how everyone is coming up with lesser points. If you take the individual serving info on the side of the box it is for 10 servings. If you multiply by 10 & divide by 24 or 48 I get 7 points.

      I always use the single cup of greek yogurt. I believe that is about 1/4 cup.

    I would like to make these muffins in a regular size muffin pan instead of a mini size. My question is how long should I bake them

      I would start at ten minutes and keep an eye on them. Also make sure you replug your WW points with the new serving number

    I’ve tried these MANY times and they are delicious! That being said I do you have a question for all of you out there….
    Has any one tried using muffin liners? Or do you believe it would stick?
    I don’t want to ruin the entire batch of that delicious mix!
    Thank you in advance!

      5 stars
      Just made in muffin paper liners and they worked just fine. These are very good. I put some chopped walnuts on top of some. Although, I know that changes the points/calorie count, gave it a nice change. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks!

    My measuring cup says 1/4 cup is 2 ounces. This is confusing!
