- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles for topping (optional)

In a bowl, stir dry cake mix, oil, and eggs with a wooden spoon until a thick, shiny dough forms.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
