Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup mild flavored oil or melted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray or line it with mini paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, milk, mild flavored oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just blended to avoid overmixing.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are just incorporated; be careful not to overmix to keep muffins tender.
  4. Fold in sprinkles: Carefully fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring even distribution without stirring too aggressively to prevent color bleeding.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter for evenly sized muffins.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the muffins are fully cooked.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins; stir just until ingredients combine.
  • Use mild flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil for a neutral taste.
  • Rainbow sprinkles can bleed color if overmixed; fold them in gently.
  • Muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • If you want larger muffins, bake for 15-18 minutes and adjust scoop size accordingly.
