Light, cake-like, and dotted with bright sprinkles, these Funfetti Greek Yogurt Muffins are as fun to eat as they are to bake. Greek yogurt adds richness and moisture while giving them a small nutritional boost.
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ cup butter, melted
¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup milk (whole, 2%, or 1%)
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
In a medium bowl, melt the butter. Whisk in the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the sprinkles until evenly distributed.
Fill muffin cups almost to the top for tall muffins. This recipe makes about 15 muffins, so bake in batches if needed.
Bake on the center rack for 15–17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Use room-temperature egg and milk for a smoother batter.
Do not overmix once wet and dry ingredients are combined; this keeps muffins soft and fluffy.
Use long sprinkles (jimmies) instead of nonpareils to prevent color bleeding.
Let muffins cool before removing liners to avoid sticking.
