How to Make Sprinkle Birthday Cake Muffins
To make these yummy birthday cake muffins, start by combining all of your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and brown sugar) in a large mixing bowl.
In a smaller bowl, combine your wet ingredients including milk, greek yogurt, vanilla, eggs, lemon juice, and oil. Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Next is the fun part – it’s time to stir in your sprinkles! To get the best results you want to get these gorgeous rainbow sprinkles. Mix 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 greased muffin pan using a medium cookie scoop. Fill each tin 2/3 full and top with extra sprinkles to make them look super pretty.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes until the sides are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Don’t these birthday muffins look so pretty and yummy? I LOVE the beautiful color the bright rainbow sprinkles gives them!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease your muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with cupcake liners if desired.
-
In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in sugar and brown sugar and mix until combined.
-
In a separate bowl stir together milk, greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and olive oil.
-
Begin adding the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix*
-
Stir in 3/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles and gently mix with a spoon until they’re evenly mixed in the batter.
-
Using a medium cookie dough scoop, scoop the batter into muffin cups, filling them 2/3 of the way full.
-
Sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top of each muffin to make them extra pretty.
-
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until slightly browned on the sides.*
-
Remove muffins from tins and let them cool on a baking rack for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store leftover birthday cake muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- 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.
- 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.
