Ingredients
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
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray mini muffin cups with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Since the batter makes multiple muffins, prepare to bake in batches if needed.
- 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 just blended, forming a smooth batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Sprinkles: Carefully fold in the colorful sprinkles to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without causing the colors to bleed.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mini muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as a sweet, bite-sized snack!
Notes
- For best results, avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender and light.
- You can substitute mild flavored oil with melted butter for a richer taste.
- If you bake multiple batches, keep finished muffins covered with foil to stay warm and moist.
- Sprinkles add fun color but can bleed slightly into the batter if overmixed; fold in gently.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
