It’s the school snack that costs less than $3, has only two ingredients and is tasty enough for kids to scoff without a complaint.
While this viral school snack hack has recently taken TikTok by storm, it’s anything but new. These two ingredient muffins have been around since the ’80s, and a whole new generation is getting to enjoy the cheap and cheerful creations.

TikToker Claudia Shops took to the social media platform and shared the simple snack idea with her followers. Her first in a series of videos detailed the recipe for two ingredient muffins containing nothing more than a Coles Vanilla Cake Mix and a tin of peaches, juice and all.
“You don’t need any milk, butter eggs or anything like that. This only cost me $2.80. It will look really dry, just keep going and it will get more soggy.”
Claudia then baked the muffins at 160°C for 22 minutes, and did a taste test.
“Yum! Delicious. It’s actually really good.” She said her kids ‘loved’ them.

Her video was flooded with comments from people who had been doing the same hack for years, often with a different mix of two ingredients.
“Been doing this since the ’90s,” replied one follower. “Try chocolate cake and a tin of cherries. And try cake mix with a can of coke, lemonade or Fanta.”
So Claudia set about testing a few different combinations. She tried Coles Vanilla Cake Mix and a tin of pears. She also added cinnamon sugar on top. She says they were also delicious, but not as good as the peaches combo.
Claudia also tried chocolate cake and tinned cherries. Here’s how she did it and what she thought:

She even tried the cup of lemonade and vanilla cake mix muffins, which she said cost a tiny $2 for ingredients. She also added some chopped up strawberries, because the mixture looked too plain!
“Spoiler alert, they’re delicious! I would say the lemonade is better than the tin of fruit and just add whatever fruit you have in the fridge, or none at all. Super cheap and super yum.”
