Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mini Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan, or line it with mini muffin liners, to keep the birthday cake mini muffins from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until everything is evenly combined. This helps create soft, fluffy birthday-cake muffins with an even texture.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, applesauce, Greek yogurt, and slightly melted coconut oil directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the muffin batter is smooth and well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the Rainbow Sprinkles: Gently stir in 3 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles. This gives the mini muffins their fun, birthday-cake look and the colorful, little-bite muffin texture that everyone loves.
  • Fill the Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining rainbow sprinkles for that classic funfetti mini muffins appearance.
  • Bake the Birthday Cake Mini Muffins: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool And Serve: Remove the mini muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack. Once cooled, enjoy these soft sprinkle muffins as a fun snack, breakfast treat, or birthday dessert.
