You won't miss the oil!

Since I have been back on weight watchers for the past week, I decided to look back in the recipe archives for a classic ww treat- diet coke cake! I didn't want to do the original diet coke/chocolate cake combo so I decided to change things up a bit. I had some blueberries left over so I decided to do blueberry muffins! They turned out great! Here is the recipe step by step.

Here's what you need:

1 box yellow cake mix (can be replaced with any other cake mix)
2 egg whites
8 oz. diet cream soda (can be replaced with any other diet soda)
blueberries (or any other fruit or nothing at all)

Place cake mix in a bowl and seperate egg whites from yolks. Discard the yolks.

Mix slightly then slowly add the soda. Some other good combinations are chocolate cake/diet coke, lemon cake/diet sprite, strawberry cake/diet big red).

Place in greased 9x13 pan or cupcake pan. I chose cupcakes to make portion control easy.
I placed the blueberries in each cupcake,

then I poked them down with my finger so they wouldn 't all sink to the bottom

Bake according to cake box directions.

These cupcakes are a really good replacement for the real thing but they aren't exactly the same. They are much moister and they kinda fall apart. Many people top theirs with fat free coolwhip for a 0 point addition. Enjoy and try not to eat the entire batch just because they are "healthy"!

Yes I love weight watchers! I have been doing it off and on for about 8 years now. Sometimes its hard but I think it really works and is a reasonable way to live life, not drastic like most diets.
