Here’s an easy and Weight Watchers (WW) friendly recipe for 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars that’s both simple to make and light on points. These lemon bars are perfect when you’re craving something sweet and tangy without a lot of fuss. With just a box of angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling, you can whip up a batch of soft, chewy, and zesty lemon bars that feel indulgent but are surprisingly low in points.

WW 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 box (16 oz) angel food cake mix (just the dry mix)
  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling (no sugar added, if available)

Instructions:

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to make removal easier.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the can of lemon pie filling. You don’t need to add anything else—no water, eggs, or oil. The batter will start to foam slightly as you mix, which is a normal reaction from the angel food cake mix. Stir the two ingredients together until they are fully combined, and the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.

Once the batter is well-mixed, pour it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. The mixture may be a little thick, but that’s okay—it will bake up into soft, airy bars.

Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bars will puff up during baking and then settle slightly as they cool.

Once baked, remove the lemon bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. This helps them firm up for easier slicing. After cooling, you can dust them with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired, though it’s optional and will add a small amount of points.

Cut the bars into 24 even pieces for portion control. These bars will have a light, spongy texture from the angel food cake, with a tangy lemon flavor from the pie filling.

WW Points:

  • These lemon bars are typically around 2-3 points per serving, depending on how many you cut and whether you use no-sugar-added pie filling. To ensure accuracy with your points, input the exact brands of ingredients into the WW recipe builder. If you dust them with powdered sugar, don’t forget to account for those points as well.

These 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars are a perfect treat when you want something sweet but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. They’re fluffy, zesty, and satisfy your sweet tooth while being easy to fit into your WW plan!
