Set your alarm for “cake” o’clock! Made in a silicone muffin maker, these mini cakes are already perfectly portioned, which means no messy slicing—all the yummy, crumbly topping stays on the cake, instead of ending up on the counter. And we are so down for cake first thing in the morning! Serve alongside yogurt and berries for a balanced, nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

½ cup milk, your choice

2 eggs

1 pkg Happy Birthday Cake Mix

1/3 cup oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp Cinnamon (Ground)

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

½ tbsp Cinnamon (Ground)

½ cup almond flour

2 tbsp brown sugar

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, whisk cake mix with eggs, milk, oil, 1 tsp cinnamon, and vanilla until just combined.

2. In a small bowl, combine almond flour, brown sugar, and remaining ½ tbsp cinnamon. Stir in melted butter. Streusel mixture should be crumbly.

3. Divide half the batter into muffin makers so wells are ⅓ full (about 2 tbsp each). Sprinkle ½ tbsp streusel into each well. Top with remaining batter, then remaining streusel.

4. In two batches, microwave on high for 2 ½ min. Rest in pan for 5 min before unmolding. Or, bake in pre-heated 375° F oven for 13–15 min, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before unmolding.

Recipe Note

Wrap cakes well, then freeze for up to 1 month for fast, grab-and-go breakfasts. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator, and warm on low in the oven or microwave, if desired.
