Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter

    1 stick

  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup rainbow jimmies sprinkles

Directions

  1. 1

    First, start by creaming together the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl or in a regular bowl using a hand mixer.

  2. 2

    Add in the eggs, milk and vanilla extract while continuing to mix.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk the ingredients together making sure to remove any lumps from the flour.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients about 1/4 cup at a time so you don’t end up in a cloud of flour dust. Continue mixing making sure to scrape the extra flour from the sides of the bowl as needed.

  5. 5

    Next, add the sprinkles and fold them in with a spatula to incorporate well into the muffin batter.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  7. 7

    Prepare a 12 cup muffin pan by adding the cupcake liners and spraying each liner with non stick baking spray.

  8. 8

    Next, fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 of the way with the funfetti muffin batter. Top off each muffin with more sprinkles if desired.

  9. 9

    Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted down the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. This means there shouldn’t be any wet batter clinging to the toothpick.

  10. 10

    Remove the funfetti muffins from the oven and allow it to cool down for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan and allowing them to finish cooling on a cooling rack.

  11. 11

    Finally, serve with a cold glass of milk and enjoy!
