Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 - 16 ounce box or bag of yellow or white cake mix (see notes for brand recommendation)
  • 1 - 5 ounce container plain Greek yogurt (about ~3/4 cup)
  • 8 ounces vanilla or strawberry protein shake of your choice (see notes for brand recommendation)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit of your choice (blueberries, raspberries, diced strawberries, chopped apples, diced peaches, cherries, etc.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup nonstick muffin tin with silicone liners or generously grease the tin.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients. If using frozen fruit, don’t thaw — fold right into batter.
  • Scoop batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 22-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (When we were testing this recipe, 22 minutes is typically perfect!)
  • Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

White Cake Mix Note: We love to use the zero sugar cake mix from Pillsbury for less sugar.
