My oldest daughter is absolutely obsessed with sprinkles. I am confident that if I let her, she would add sprinkles to every single thing she eats, and who can really blame her?! I often make baked goods with fruit or chocolate for breakfast (like these pancakes), but I have never really considered adding sprinkles. This morning, I suggested chocolate chips muffins for breakfast, and I could see how disappointed she was. I decided to change it up a bit and do birthday cake muffins instead!
Making these muffins is pretty straightforward, and you really don’t even need a mixer to prepare them. Just cream together the melted butter and sugar, mix in all of the other wet ingredients and then mix in the dry ingredients. I like to fill my muffin tins almost all of the way up, because who doesn’t love a good muffin top?! Bake them just until they are done – do NOT overcook them! Top them with a little butter and enjoy them warm!
If you have never used silicone baking cups, I definitely recommend them (these are great)! They peel off of the muffins so easily, and they are dishwasher safe. Just use them over and over and save yourself a little cash! Feel free to use regular paper liners, or even just a well-greased pan as well. Move your muffins to a cooling rack after you take them out of the oven so that they do not continue to bake in the pan.
I hope you love this recipe! Please leave a review and rating below.
