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.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
