Looking for a sweet treat without the guilt? These Low Calorie Vanilla Cupcakes are Weight Watchers approved and absolutely delicious…you won’t miss the calories, I promise!
Weight Watchers Vanilla Cupcakes
I love desserts. Cakes, cupcakes, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, anything sweet really. I’m not overly particular, but that calorie count will keep me away most days. How does a vanilla Weight Watchers cupcake sound? Sounds PERFECT to me! I adapted this recipe from one I found on Hungry Girl and I was excited to try it. I will admit that these Vanilla Weight Watcher Cupcakes will take you a bit longer to prep than the regular out of the box cupcakes, but the fact that you won’t have the guilt is totally worth it!
It will take you about 10-15 minutes to prep and cook time for these yummy weight watcher cupcakes is about 15 minutes. That means in about 30 minutes you can be enjoying these WW Vanilla Cupcakes with friends and family. If you want to share that is…Well, I recommend sharing…this cupcake recipe makes about 22-24 low fat cupcakes and if you eat them all, you will lose out on that whole “healthier” part 🙂
As you can see, you can fill the liners in the muffin pan up all the way to the top. These Weight Watchers vanilla cupcakes won’t rise quiet as much as the traditional variety.
But they come out delicious!

Oh those look so good and love the lower calories! So many times for family functions we make cakes…and many that are watching their diets do not want any…these would be perfect!

My granddaughter has Type 1 Diabetes & I love this recipe! But I really need to know the carb count for each cupcake if that’s possible. Thank you!
The carbs are 30g per cupcake and 16 g of sugar – I hope that helps!! Enjoy 🙂
Would this turn out just as goon in regular cake form?
I’m sure it would!! I don’t see why not 🙂
I’ve just started Weight Watchers and this will be a great recipe for me to have for those times I want something Sweet!
