Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and fill cupcake tin with liners.

In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, and egg whites. Using an electric mixer, mix on medium until batter is smooth.

Fold in ¾ cup of the Fruity Pebbles Cereal.

Once batter is smooth, fill cupcake liners until each is about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a pinch of Fruity Pebble cereal on top of batter before baking. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool fully before frosting.

Vanilla Buttercream

In a clean, large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 1 – 1/2 cups of softened butter until fluffy.

Slowly incorporate powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add vanilla extract and a tablespoon of yogurt and cream between each cup. Continue to mix until creamy and light.

Fill your piping bag with buttercream and frost cupcakes once they are cool. Top with remaining Fruity Pebbles cereal. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cereal Crushing Technique 🥣
Gently crush Fruity Pebbles before adding to batter to prevent soggy clumps and ensure even distribution of flavor and texture throughout the cupcakes.
Yogurt Moisture Magic 💧
Use room temperature vanilla Greek yogurt to create a more tender crumb and prevent dense, heavy cupcakes by helping ingredients blend more smoothly.
Whipping Cream Pro Tip 🍦
Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to achieve maximum volume and stability when whipping the cream for frosting.
Colorful Cupcake Garnish 🌈
Reserve some whole and crushed Fruity Pebbles to sprinkle on top of frosted cupcakes for added crunch and vibrant visual appeal.
Moisture Lock Technique 🧊
Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting, and consider briefly refrigerating them to help the frosting set and maintain maximum moisture.
