Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars — Weight Watchers Version
These two-ingredient lemon bars are a wonderfully simple and light dessert that delivers a bright citrus punch without any fuss or added fats. The combination of angel food cake mix and lemon pie filling creates a tender, moist base with a vibrant lemon flavor that feels fresh and tangy. Because no eggs or oil are required, the bars stay light in texture and lower in points, making them perfect for a Weight Watchers plan. The ease of preparation means you can whip them up in minutes, and the result is a soft, cake-like treat with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. Chilling before serving allows the bars to firm up nicely, giving you neat squares that hold together well but still melt in your mouth. This recipe is ideal for anyone seeking a quick, delicious dessert that satisfies a sweet tooth while keeping nutrition and points in check.

Ingredients:

1 box angel food cake mix (use angel food for fewer points) or yellow cake mix
1 can (15 oz) lemon pie filling (look for low-sugar or light versions if possible)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and lemon pie filling. Stir until fully combined and smooth. No need to add eggs or oil since the lemon pie filling provides moisture and binding.
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for about 25–30 minutes or until the top is set and golden at the edges. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Weight Watchers Points Notes:

Angel food cake mix typically has fewer points than yellow cake mix, making it a better choice for lower points.
Using light or reduced-sugar lemon pie filling reduces sugar and points further.
Depending on your WW plan and the brand used, each lemon bar (if cut into 12) is approximately 2–3 points.
The recipe contains no added fats like butter or oil, making it naturally lower in points than traditional lemon bars.
