(Approx. 4–5 points per serving — instead of 18–25!)

We keep the gooey pecan–caramel vibe, but swap the heavy butter, sugar, and cake mix for lighter versions that taste shockingly close.

 W-W-FRIENDLY INGREDIENTS

Pecan Layer

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup Lakanto Golden (0 points)
    (swap for brown sugar)
  • ½ cup sugar-free caramel sauce
    (Walden Farms, Smucker’s SF, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp light butter (like Land O’Lakes Light)
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans
    (less than original but still gives crunch + flavor — pecans are point-heavy)

Cake Topping Layer

  • 1 box sugar-free yellow cake mix
    (or Pillsbury sugar-free yellow)
  • ¼ cup light butter, melted

 INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Make the pecan filling:
    In a bowl whisk together:
    • Eggs
    • Lakanto golden
    • Sugar-free caramel
    • 2 tbsp melted light butter
      Add pecans and stir to coat.
  3. Pour mixture into the baking dish.
  4. Make the topping:
    Stir the sugar-free cake mix with the remaining ¼ cup melted light butter until crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle evenly over the pecan layer.
  6. Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Let cool 15 minutes before serving (it thickens as it stands).

 APPROX. WEIGHT WATCHERS POINTS

Serves 12
Approx. 4–5 points per serving depending on your plan.

The pecans are the biggest point contributor — but cutting to half the original amount saves MAJOR points while keeping the flavor.

 SERVING IDEAS

  • A little FF Cool Whip (0 points for 2 tbsp)
  • Sugar-free caramel drizzle (0 points)
  • Sprinkle of sea salt
  • Sugar-free vanilla ice cream (Halo Top light — very low points)
