Birthday Cake Muffins FAQs

Which sprinkles are best for birthday cake muffins?

I recommend using rainbow sprinkle jimmies like these.

Not only will they look the prettiest, but they have a great texture, and they don’t bleed or get muddled in the batter like other kinds of sprinkles do.

You can use either primary colored ones or rainbow colored ones as shown throughout the rest of the post.

What Size Muffins Can I Make With This Recipe?

These birthday cake muffins can be made in either a 12-Cup Muffin Pan for regular size muffins or in a 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan for bite sized treats similar to the Little Bites Party Cake Muffins.

Can I Use All-Purpose Flour Instead of Self-Rising Flour?

These muffins are made with my favorite self-rising flour which is a pre-mixed blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a small amount of fine salt.

If you don’t have any, you can make your own with this easy DIY self-rising flour recipe or grab a bag via the link below!

Muffin Tips:

Do not overmix your batter. With muffins you want to stir by hand until just combined. This will prevent the muffins from getting too dry.
Do not overbake your muffins. The amount of time these muffins will take will depend on your oven, so I recommend starting with the lower time, checking them, and adding additional time if needed. Again, you don’t want to overcook the muffins as this will make them dry.
Use a scale to measure out your flour in grams or use the spoon and level method to ensure you don’t add too much flour. Adding too much flour can make the batter too dry.

Below you’ll find step-by-step instructions with photos on how to make sprinkle birthday cake muffins with self-rising flour.

I’ve also included a list of all the ingredients and recommended kitchen tools you’ll need to make them with.

Ingredients:

Self-rising flour
Granulated sugar
Milk (I used 2%)
Plain Greek Yogurt (I used non-fat)
Large eggs
Vanilla extract
Light olive oil (or other neutral-flavored oil)
Rainbow sprinkles

Recommended Kitchen Tools:

Step 1: Prepare Muffin Batter

In a large mixing bowl add granulated sugar, milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk together until smooth and combined.

Next begin adding in the flour in increments and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Lastly, add in the rainbow sprinkles, and gently fold in with a spoon or spatula until the batter has an even amount of sprinkles throughout.

Once your batter is mixed, scoop the batter into a 12-Cup Muffin Pan or 24-Cup Mini Muffin Pan with a medium cookie scoop.

Fill each tin 2/3 full, ensuring you fill each muffin tin evenly.

If desired, top with extra sprinkles to make them look super pretty.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until the muffins are a light golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I LOVE the beautiful color the bright rainbow sprinkles gives them, and they really are the perfect birthday treat!
