Cupcake Poppers

Ever wanted to eat cupcakes FOR BREAKFAST and not feel any guilt*? 

Then these cupcakes are for you! They're quick, moist, delicious and require only 2 ingredients... yes two! (water doesn't count guys!)

*sidenote: Never feel guilt or beat yourself for having a treat! Everything in moderation is the answer to everything! Well ok, maybe not the question of how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a tootsie pop.. but otherwise it's a very versatile lesson! 

The secret ingredient is the secret ingredient to almost all my recipes... (I can't help it I have an addiction and am proud of it!) 

GREEK YOGURT!

Yes, you should have all seen this coming-I can't count how many things I've tried to 'healthify' by substituting Greek yogurt... and once again-this didn't let me down!

I almost think these cupcakes are more delicious than the regular kind... but then again-sometimes I think my brain's wires are a little crossed sometimes and think healthy=delicious. (Not a completely bad trait, but very odd!)

Look at all the cute little guys!

Ingredients:

-3/4 cup Greek yogurt (any kind-I'm a Dannon Oikos girl myself)

-1 box cake mix

-1 cup water

~Any Greek yogurt will work. For this recipe, I used a yellow-cake mix and vanilla Greek yogurt and the results were oh so delicious! 

Some other creative mash-ups include: 

-German chocolate cake mix and a Black Cheery yogurt

-Vanilla cake mix and Honey yogurt

-Vanilla cake mix and any of the fruit flavors! YUM! <-- You could even mix in some fresh berries with this and create one heck of a delicious fruity cupcake!

Directions:

1. Mix cake mix, yogurt and water just until everything is moist

2. Pour batter into a mini cupcake tin

3. Bake as directed by box 

4. Frost with Fluff Frosting

5. Enjoy the little bites with a gleam in your eye because you know you just made a semi-healthy pop-able dessert!

*I of course did not get this many cupcakes because... well... maybe... I snuck a little bit SPOONFUL AFTER SPOONFUL of the cake batter
