Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 12-cup muffin pan or 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. (Alternatively you can use cupcake liners.)
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 the batter with a spatula until evenly incorporated.
Using a medium size cookie scoop, scoop the batter into 12 muffin cups, evenly filling them 2/3 of the way full.
If desired, sprinkle rainbow sprinkles on top of each muffin to make them extra pretty.
Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until muffins are a light golden brown.
After a few minutes, remove muffins from tins and let them cool on a wire cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving.
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover muffins in an airtight container for up to 2 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.
