Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

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

Dry Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray mini muffin tins generously with cooking spray to ensure the little muffins do not stick. You may need to bake in batches depending on how many muffin cups your pan holds.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the plain yogurt, milk, mild flavored oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the batter is just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
  4. Fold in Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the sprinkles to evenly distribute their color and sweetness throughout the batter without overworking it.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven and pan sizes.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pans for 10 minutes to firm up, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use a light flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil if you prefer a more neutral taste over butter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Sprinkles add fun color but can melt slightly during baking; choose good quality sprinkles for best results.
  • Mini muffins are perfect for parties or lunchboxes, easy to handle and portion control friendly.
  • Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
