Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup salted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain flavored)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring
  • 1 cup milk (whole or low-fat milk)

Mix-ins

  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles (plus more to sprinkle on top)

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare your muffin pans by lining them with 16 muffin liners or spraying them well with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. Cream Butter, Oil, and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, canola or vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Incorporate the large eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla paste, and almond flavoring into the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined, then gradually add the milk while continuing to mix.
  5. Combine Flour Mixture: Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. The batter may appear slightly lumpy, which is okay. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles.
  6. Fill Muffin Pans and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins. Optionally, sprinkle additional rainbow sprinkles on top of each muffin. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Make the Glaze: While the muffins bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of milk, and pure vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Cool and Glaze Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the tops of the muffins. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use whole or low-fat milk based on your preference for a richer or lighter muffin.
  • Softening butter at room temperature is key for proper creaming with sugars.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and avoid toughness.
  • Feel free to substitute sprinkles with chocolate chips for a different twist.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
