Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and Greek yoghurt until a soft dough forms. It should be thick and scoopable.
2. Using an ice-cream scoop (or tablespoon), portion the dough into small mounds and place them on a lined baking tray.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if you’re using it.
4. Bake at 175°C (fan-forced) for 12 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
5. Let cool slightly, then devour. Warm is best. (Trust me.)

Notes

💡 These are best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave or air fryer.
💡 Want to dress them up? Try dipping in a simple glaze or dusting with icing sugar.
💡 They freeze well too – just zap them in the microwave to bring them back to life.
