👩‍🍳Recipe Notes

• Start with room temperature ingredients to help make sure the batter comes together easily and creates an even texture.
• Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will lead to tough muffins.
• If you're adding mix-ins into the muffin batter, fold them in gently.
• Spray the paper muffin liners with non-stick baking spray. This will help the baked muffins not to stick the paper liners once they are baked.
• Fill the muffin cups two thirds full. This way the will rise properly and not overflow.
• Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Then place them on a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Check out the storing and freezing tips below for more information.

📋Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣Combine the Butter Mixture

• Mix the butter, sugar, and oil together until creamy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

2️⃣Combine the Flour Mixture

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
• Add a third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then add half of the milk and mix.
• Repeat once more and end with the remaining third of the flour mixture just until nearly combined.

3️⃣Add Sprinkles

• Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles being sure to not overwork the batter.

📌Quick Tip: Be sure to use rainbow jimmies in this recipe. This type of sprinkle holds up to being mixed into batter without bleeding and keeps its color.

4️⃣Baking Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Add muffin liners to a 12 count muffin pan.
• Fill each muffin liner with ⅓ cup of batter.
• Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

5️⃣Cooling Tips

• Let the muffins cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes.

6️⃣Powdered Sugar Glaze

• Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract.
• Dip the muffins into the glaze and allow the excess glaze to run off over a wire rack.
• Add some sprinkles to the top of the muffins while the glaze is still wet.

🍶Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an air tight container for about 3 days. You can keep them in the fridge for about 5 days.
• Pop in the microwave with a damp paper towel to keep the moisture in the muffin when you reheat them for about 20-30 seconds.

❄️Freezing Tips

• If you're freezing the muffins with the glaze on, put them in the freezer on a baking tray to freeze for about 45 minutes to an hour before transferring them to an air tight container or freezer bag.
• Alternatively, freeze the muffins without the glaze and add it once they have defrosted.
• They should keep for up to 3 months.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• When choosing sprinkles to use for this recipe, be sure to use rainbow jimmies. This type of sprinkle holds up to being mixed into batter without bleeding and keeps its color.
• Make sure your butter is softened so it blends well with the sugar.
• Be careful to not over mix the batter so the muffins come out tender.
