Does anyone know if the muffins that are made with one box of cake mix, a can of pumpkin and a can of water are still 2 SP's each?
Thanks!

I would doubt it since everything with sugar went up in points. Do you have access to Recipe Builder?

I am doing points plus so they are staying at two points, but think I heard they are now five.

wow they would no longer be worth it if they are 5 points per muffin!

I just input a package of white cake mix and a 15 oz can of pumpkin. The only thing with points is the cake mix. For 12 muffins it came out to 7 points each. For 24 muffins it's 4 points each.

Before SmartPoints was introduced, WW’s mini snack bars disappeared from the shelves at meeting locations. Some months after the introduction of SmartPoints, replacement mini snack bars were introduced.
The mini bars under PointsPlus were “natural,” using sugar and no artificial sweeteners. They jumped to 4 and 5 points under SmartPoints. The ne w mini bars were back to 2 points apiece, but the sugar was reduced and Maltitol was reintroduced—making them treats that many people can’t eat because Maltitol gives them stomach woes.
That pretty much tells the story of what happens with prior recipes that include any significant sugar or saturated fat.

for some reason i find it a bit annoying that they are selling "low point" sweet treats that are merely low point because they have that wretched ingredient in them. why sell things that make many people's stomachs feel like we are trying to digest shards of glass.

The low Smart Point muffin crowd on Connect use a sugar free box of cake mix.

The low Smart Point muffin crowd on Connect use a sugar free box of cake mix. I re-input into Recipe Builder using a sugar-free cake mix. For 12 muffins they are now 3 points each. So, if you can tolerate whatever it is they put into the sugar free mixes, this could be an option. |

Keep in mind if you make cupcakes from a mix, a cupcake is usually 1/2 a serving of the NI from the label. Cake mixes usually yield 10 to 12 regular servings, which would be 20 to 24 cupcakes.

I have a recipe for 1 or 2 point muffins, depending on the size you chose. They are made with one box of FF Krustez (ms) and Allbran cereal....they are quite good, Freeze well too. If you can't find it on a GOOGLE and are interested, let me know. In a rush right now. Will BBL. Patti I'll google it thank you! |

Hi all! Also a lot of these 2 pt baked goods are made with protein powder, like Quest Protein powder, and Kodiak pancake mix as a base. Increased protein skews the nutrition data and lowers the points values.
