Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (whole, 2% or 1%)
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ½ cup traditional rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare muffin tins: Preheat your oven to 375℉. Line your muffin tins with liners or spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Soften the butter: Place the butter in a medium bowl and microwave for 20-25 seconds until it is soft and mostly melted, but not fully liquid.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the olive or avocado oil, plain Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the softened butter. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth and combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or large spoon to stir the batter just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Add sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup almost full. Sprinkle a few extra sprinkles on top of each muffin if desired.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Timing may vary slightly depending on your oven.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tray for 5-10 minutes before removing them. If using liners, wait until muffins are completely cooled for easier removal. Enjoy warm or store for later.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or any neutral oil of your choice.
- If using different types of milk (such as skim or plant-based), texture may slightly vary.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives, though texture will differ.
- Muffins taste best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
