Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (whole, 2% or 1%)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • ½ cup traditional rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tins: Preheat your oven to 375℉ (190℃). Prepare your muffin tins by placing muffin liners inside or spraying them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: Place the butter in a medium-sized bowl and microwave for 20-25 seconds until it is soft and mostly melted. Add the olive oil (or avocado oil), Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Whisk gently to combine, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or large spoon, stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles into the batter to distribute evenly without bleeding the colors too much.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost full. Optionally, sprinkle a few additional sprinkles on top of each muffin for extra color and fun.
  7. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Ovens vary, but most will be done right at 15 minutes.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before removing. For easier handling and best texture, allow them to cool completely if using liners. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and moist.
  • Using room temperature ingredients helps in better mixing and texture.
  • If you want dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt and milk accordingly.
  • Sprinkles may bleed color slightly into the batter; choose quality sprinkles designed for baking.
  • Cooling the muffins fully before removing from liners prevents tearing and sticking.
