Birthday Cake Muffins That Hit Your Protein Goals (Two Ways)
Share
Whether you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch or just need a quick, high-protein treat that doesn’t taste like a “health food” compromise — these muffins are the move.
We took everything you love about our best-selling Birthday Cake Pancake Mix (vanilla, sprinkles, and serious fluff factor) and turned it into the ultimate muffin hack.
Didn’t get your hands on the Birthday Cake mix before it sold out? No problem. You can recreate the same vibe using our Your Dream Muffin Mix — and we’ll show you exactly how.
Soft, sweet, packed with protein, and ready in minutes.
Here’s how to make them:
1 cup HelloAmino Birthday Cake Pancake Mix
1 tbsp white sugar (don't skip, this is needed for moisture and structure)
1 large whole egg
1/4 cup 2% milk (can use lactose free but must be 2% but can sub for 2 % Greek yogurt)
3 tbsp butter or ghee, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cake batter extract, optional
Combine the birthday cake mix and sugar together and set aside. In another bowl combine the remaining ingredients using a whisk. Add in the dry ingredients an using a silicone spatula stir well until fully combined.
Divide into 6 muffins and bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let stand 5 minutes before removing from the tin and let cool fully before icing with HelloAmino protein icing.
