Hummingbird Muffins

Fruit laden muffins that start with a yellow cake mix.

These muffins start out with a yellow cake mix so these muffins are definitely on the cakey side. They are full of fruit and nuts in every bite. I honestly think you could put some frosting on them and call them cupcakes too! I wouldn’t use a cake mix that has pudding in the mix for these.
