Default Low fat/lite cake mixes?

Has anyone found or tried any lowfat or lite cake mixes? I was going to try the spice cake with canned pumpkin recipe, but all the mixes look like they would add up to about 3 points per muffin, and I'm not sure I'm willing to "spend" that many points on a snack. Thanks!

Betty Crocker used to have Sweet Rewards but they were not a big seller so they discontinued them.

Most cake mixes if you do 24 cupcakes/muffins are only 1-2 points depending on what you add to them. Most cakes run 3-4 points for 1/12 of the mix which usually is 24 cupcakes/muffins.

Remember how 1+1 does not always equal 2 but sometimes 1 or 3. Well when you divide the nutritional info from a boxed cake by 2 which makes 24 servings most come out to 1-2 points.

Hadn't thought about the math/division!! I still think I'll look for the lowest fat spice mix that I can find!

A friend also mentioned a brand called "No Pudge" or something like that that I want to check out. I'll let all of you know what I find!

THANKS!
