1 ½ cups all-purpose flour Substitution: Use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend for a gluten-free option.
⅔ cups granulated sugar You can reduce the amount for a less sweet muffin if preferred.
1 tbsp baking powder Make sure it’s fresh for the best results.
½ tsp baking soda Essential for balancing the batter's acidity.
¼ tsp salt Never omit; it enhances overall taste.
½ cup milk Can substitute with almond milk, oat milk, or skim milk.
⅓ cup unsalted butter Melt it for easier mixing into the batter.
1 tsp vanilla extract Opt for pure extract for the best taste.
1 large egg Room temperature eggs blend better.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Funfetti Muffins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with colorful muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, blend the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently to avoid bleeding colors.
Spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
