Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) Greek vanilla yogurt (100 calorie)
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack centrally to ensure consistent heat circulation.
- Mixing Base: Combine plain yogurt and water in a large bowl, whisking thoroughly until the liquid becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Batter Creation: Incorporate cake mix into the yogurt mixture, folding with deliberate motions until a uniform batter emerges without any dry clusters.
- Pan Preparation: Lightly grease the muffin tin with vegetable oil, using a paper towel to distribute an even, thin coating that prevents adhesion.
- Filling and Baking: Distribute the batter evenly across muffin cavities, filling each approximately halfway. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, rotating midway to guarantee consistent golden coloration.
- Doneness Check: Verify muffins are fully cooked by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean without any raw batter residue.
- Cooling Process: Allow muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring optimal texture and structural integrity.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature for the most delightful culinary experience.
Notes
- Yogurt Selection: Choose thick, full-fat Greek yogurt for richer, more moist muffins with better texture and binding properties.
- Cake Mix Tip: Select a standard chocolate cake mix without added pudding mix to maintain precise ingredient measurements and consistent results.
- Baking Precision: Use an oven thermometer to verify accurate temperature, ensuring even baking and preventing potential under or over-cooking.
- Storage Strategy: Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze individually wrapped for convenient grab-and-go snacks.
