Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup rainbow sprinkles

Equipment

  • Mini muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls (one large, one medium)
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small scoop or spoon for filling
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

Preheat the Oven
  1. I set my oven to 350°F and spray my mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, I whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until blended.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, I whisk the oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry
  1. I pour the wet mixture into the dry bowl and stir until just combined. I never overmix because I want soft muffins.
Fold in Sprinkles
  1. I gently fold in the sprinkles. I stir lightly so they stay bright and don’t bleed into the batter.
Fill the Muffin Tin
  1. I scoop about one tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup.
Bake
  1. I bake the muffins for 7 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. I let them sit for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Then I enjoy the first bite warm.

Notes

If I want a shortcut, I sometimes use a pancake mix as the base. The muffins take a little longer to bake, but they still turn out soft and delicious.
