These gorgeous sprinkle birthday cake muffins are so delicious and easy to make and are the perfect treat to make for a birthday breakfast or special birthday treat.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Do not overtake 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.
  3. 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.

  • 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.
  • Sometimes depending on the weather, you might need a little extra moisture in the batter. If the batter looks a little too dry, you can always add some extra milk to even things out. Start by adding 1 tbsp at a time.
